Urban farms in Baltimore need reliable irrigation water. This research tested harvested rainwater for E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella, and evaluated two treatments: sand–iron filtration and peracetic acid sanitizing. Both reduced E. coli, and sanitizing eliminated Listeria. Produce remained contamination-free, suggesting treated rainwater is a viable supplemental irrigation source.

My research uses high-resolution maps and video-game simulation software to model future flooding in Abu Dhabi under projected sea-level rise. The immersive tool helps identify risks, guide infrastructure adaptation, protect sensitive areas, and support long-term planning. By visualizing future scenarios, the project empowers communities and policymakers to take proactive climate action.
