About me

I am a postdoctoral associate in the Institute of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (EOAS) working with Asa Rennermalm, David Robinson, and Anthony Broccoli. My research investigates the complex local- and large-scale interactions among Earth system components that determine the course of polar climate change, focusing especially on how extreme atmospheric events affect the Greenland Ice Sheet. I use a variety of observational, modeling, and remote sensing data sources and techniques in this work. With EOAS colleagues, I have also been working to develop methods for atmospheric measurements using uncrewed aerial vehicles.

See the research and publications pages for more details on my work, and please feel free to contact me if we share similar interests!
