About Me

I am a postdoc in the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Program, working with Dr. Elena Shevliakova. I am broadly interested in wildfire activities under the changing climate, utilizing high resolution satellite products to evaluate and improve model performance, and agriculture’s contribution to climate change and air pollution.
