I am a researcher at UC Berkeley working at the intersection of environmental engineering, optics, and digital innovation. My work combines innovative sensing with advanced modeling to optimize water and wastewater management. By developing the next generation of monitoring tools, I aim to transform how we manage urban waters and how we protect our water resources.

Currently, I am a Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) Postdoctoral Fellow. My research investigates non-contact optical sensors as alternatives to traditional sensors or manual sampling. Acting as 'digital eyes' capable of remotely monitoring pollutants, these optical sensors are potential game-changers for wastewater treatment and urban drainage systems.

Whether it’s preventing environmental pollution, reducing energy consumption in treatment processes, or recovering resources from wastewater, I am passionate about leveraging digital innovation to solve our most pressing water challenges. Learn more about my work here:
