I am Professor of Hydrology at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA. My teaching and research lie at the intersection of progressive education, environmental engineering, water resource management, and ecology. Specific research areas include student-centered and student-driven innovative educational models, sustainable water use, stream restoration, and watershed management with research projects located primarily in the Northeastern United States. Currently, I work with students at Hampshire College to analyze the effectiveness of a greywater reuse/recycling system in the R.W. Kern Center, certified as a “Living Building” in the spring of 2018. This project seeks to understand the relationships between the living and built environment and to increase awareness of the ways in which we consume and dispose of resources.
