Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKyle Wright is a postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zürich with eight years of interdisciplinary experience applying remote sensing, hydrodynamic modeling, and field observations to coastal deltas and estuaries. He built and operated operational hydrodynamic models for the Texas coast—supporting oil-spill trajectory forecasting, coastal flooding, and stakeholder decision-making—and now focuses on leveraging SWOT mission data for surface water and sediment connectivity research. With a PhD and MS in Civil Engineering from UT Austin and hands-on experience at NASA JPL, he blends theory, code, and instrument deployment to inform nature-based restoration and coastal resilience. Outside the lab he pursues interests from cosmology to audio engineering and is known for exploring off-the-beaten-path landscapes and very bad last-name jokes.
