I am currently a Research Scientist at the Aquaya Institute and am based in Nairobi, Kenya. I'm an engineer with a passion for studying water quality, reliability, and access in developing countries. I received my PhD from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, where I worked with Kara Nelson.
