Jan 2025 – Present
As a SOURCE-funded fellow working under Dr. Wen, I’m helping develop a system for environmental data transfer, storage, and dissemination. The work bridges environmental science, coding, and community collaboration. More specifically:
Programming in Python and R to automate sensor data processing, formatting, and visualization
Working with CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) sensors* and other field equipment for real-time environmental monitoring
Collaborating with local community partners
Supporting hardware integration, including sensor setup, calibration, and microcontroller data logging
Through this role, I've gotten to strengthen my skills in field instrumentation, open-source development, and applied data analytics.

I cleaned and prepared a NASA landslide dataset in R, then analyzed it using various packages including ggplot2 to create visualizations. I designed a polished poster in Adobe Illustrator and presented it at the School of Information Studies’ Poster Day.
