Research

PhD student at the University of Delaware in the Department of Geography under Dr. Dana Veron. I’m studying physical climatology and I’m part of the Cloud, Winds, and Climate Lab headed by Dr. Veron at UD. My focus is on using a combination of in-situ, modeling, and machine learning to understand physical forcing mechanisms of climate and sea ice variability at local and regional scales in East Antarctica.

General Research Interests

  • Computational modeling and simulation with specific interests in physical climate processes and interactions.
  • Use of GPUs and Deep Learning to improve modeling and predictive analysis resolutions and performance in geophysical models.
  • Application of remote sensing, geospatial analysis and large datasets to understanding relationships between drivers in complex dynamic climate systems.
  • Chaos, complex systems and climate tipping elements.
