Senior Research Scientist / Integration Lead

Jan 2023 - Present
I design strategies for the multi-institutional development of the new CliMA Earth System Model, and manage a team of scientists and software engineers that integrates physical model components and implements performant validation tools. We base these tools on cutting-edge research and domain expertise of all collaborative units. I also mentor a group of students, with whom I explore data-driven statistical methods for uncertainty quantification of coupled models for academic research, as well as for practical application to extreme weather event prediction.

Jan 2016 - Mar 2018
I developed new theories of storm track predictability and the associated weather extremes, using a range of analytical and numerical idealized models. I also contributed to a project quantifying hurricane statistics.
