Hi, I am a master's student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the New York Institute of Technology, where I also earned my bachelor's degree with minors in Mathematics and Physics. My research focuses on the use of multispectral and near-infrared imaging to detect plant stress and improve sustainability in urban agriculture. I have led projects designing low cost imaging systems that automate irrigation, and I have explored how engineering can support sustainability by investigating issues faced in NYC community gardens, gathering firsthand insights into water access, soil health, and plant issues. I am passionate about applying engineering solutions to environmental and public health issues.
