I am a postdoctoral researcher in climate science at the University of Michigan, wroking with Professor Christiane Jablonowski. I completed my PhD in physics in January of 2025, during which I worked at Sandia National Laboratory and was a fellow at the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery and Engineering (MICDE).
I hold an bachelor's in Physics from DePaul University, and did my undergraduate research at the Cosmological Physics and Advanced Computing Group (CPAC) at Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago, IL.
Interests
- Effective data visualization, high performance computing, and software design
- Computational physics, particularly as applied to atmospheric dynamics via large coupled climate models.
- Simulating the atmosphere's response to aerosol forcing, such as the sulfate aerosols of stratospheric geoengineering, volcanism, and wildfire emissions
- Photography and videography; visitors are welcome to check out my Instagram and Vimeo profiles.
- Traditional rock climbing, hiking and trail running, and long-distance backpacking
