My research is focussed on the effects of ground settlement from permafrost degradation, my goals are to develop a better understanding of the underlying factors. As a civil engineer working on arctic infrastructure projects, my professional goals are to gain a more practical understanding of permafrost from subject matter experts and to connect with people in related fields. Both these goals are aligned with the LEAP program elements in a research and professional capacity. I am excited for the opportunity to be involved in the program and hope to apply what I learn to both research and work.
