Ph.D.
in Atmospheric Science.
Defended August 2020.
Dissertation: Stratospheric Black Carbon Injections and Climate Variability.
Advisor: Alan Robock
M.S.
in Atmospheric Science. (2016-2019)
B.S.
in Meteorology & Marine Science. G.H. Cook Scholar. (2013-2016)

Research Interests
Climate dynamics and variability, climate modelling, climate effects of stratospheric aerosols, nuclear winter, ENSO dynamics, ocean circulation dynamics. Currently, I am developing a parameterization that enables for inhibition of phytoplankton photosynthesis due to ultraviolet radiation in CESM2 enabled with MARBL. I am interested in understanding how stratospheric aerosol injection events such as nuclear war, asteroid impacts, volcanic eruptions, etc. may impact marine life through this new model configuration.
