Biography

I am a postdoctoral researcher working with Tapio Schneider in the Climate Dynamics Group at ETH Zürich. In late 2014, I completed my PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where my advisor was Paul O’Gorman.

My research interests span atmospheric dynamics, the hydrological cycle, and climate change. For details see my personal webpage!
