I develop deep-learning methods for environmental time series — specifically, structured attention architectures that respect the physical structure of stratified aquatic systems along three meaningful axes: depth, feature, and time. My doctoral work targets the climate- and water-monitoring data that U.S. agencies, water utilities, and federal Earth-system research increasingly depend on.
