I am currently a PhD candidate in the Earth and Planetary Sciences Department at UC Santa Cruz. In 2016, I received my undergraduate degree from Wesleyan University in Earth and Environmental Sciences.
I am broadly interested in the climate system of Earth's polar regions, which feature fascinating, complex interactions between the ocean, atmosphere, and sea ice. I primarily work with Professor Nicole Feldl, applying novel causal discovery techniques to quantify the physical mechanisms underlying polar climate change. Currently, my research utilizes large geophysical datasets from state-of-the-art climate models. In the past, I have worked on polar paleoclimate reconstructions using deep-sea sediment cores in the Weddell Sea.
