I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Earth System Science department at the University of California, Irvine. My broad interests focus on the Earth’s cryosphere and its many interconnected systems. Specifically, my research aims to better understand the impact of foehn (warm and dry downslope winds) and katabatic winds have on surface melt and ice shelf stability in Antarctica and Greenland. My work uses an interdisciplinary approach that combines, surface observations, model simulations, data science, and machine learning, with the ultimate goal to help identify impacts of climate change on the Earth system.
