A CLOSER LOOK / CARBONDALE
The storm changes.
So does the answer.
A detention basin’s performance depends on more than the return period. Explore the modeled peak discharge at Location A across twelve design-storm scenarios.
THE ENGINEERING TAKEAWAY
Short, intense storms and longer-duration storms place different demands on storage. Testing both helps reveal the limits of a mitigation concept.

02 / MY APPROACH
The detail is
where the work happens.
Five connected stages. Each one links a modeling choice to the engineering question it needs to answer.
TOOLS OF THE TRADE
A connected technical practice.
Flow meets infrastructure.
Culvert sizing, headwater and overtopping assessment, bridge and culvert flow analysis, computational meshes, and sediment-volume estimation.
Data with a purpose.
Terrain and land-cover processing, spatial analysis, repeatable workflows, infrastructure asset management, and DGPS field verification.

03 / ABOUT ME
Curiosity brought me here.
Water connects it all.
I’m a civil engineer focused on understanding how water moves through landscapes, cities, and infrastructure.
My experience spans Kathmandu’s water-distribution network, city-funded flood research in Carbondale, and transportation hydraulics at Hanson Professional Services. I bring together field data, spatial analysis, and numerical modeling to support engineering decisions.
I’m pursuing an MS in Civil Engineering at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, concentrating in Water Resources and Hydrology. As a Graduate Research Assistant, I contribute to the City of Carbondale’s stormwater master planning work.

BEYOND THE MODEL
Engineering is
a team effort.
Technical work becomes useful when people can act on it. I bring the same attention to documentation, coordination, and communication that I bring to a model.
