Biography
Andrew is an associate research scientist in the Biospheric Sciences Laboratory at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and research faculty at University of Maryland ESSIC in Maryland, USA. His main goal is to understand how environmental variability and extremes influence global plant function and evaporation, and the consequent global water cycle responses. Drylands, such as in the western U.S., are a large focus of his work. He is currently a member of the NASA ECOSTRESS Science Team and co-leads the scoping for the NASA Adaptation and Response in Drylands (ARID) proposed dryland field campaign. Andrew received his Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2021. In 2016, he graduated from Drexel University with B.S. and M.S. degrees in Civil Engineering. Andrew was formerly a NASA Postdoctoral Program Fellow.
