About me

CV

Hi! I am a PhD student in the Department of Atmospheric & Environmental Sciences at the University at Albany, SUNY, advised by Dr. Brian Rose. I am generally interested in climate change, dynamics, and modeling. My current research involves using climate models to investigate the pattern effect, which refers to the coupling of spatiotemporal patterns of ocean heat uptake (or sea surface temperature), radiative feedbacks, and climate sensitivity. This has implications for projections of future warming, as different OHU/SST patterns in models excite different feedbacks and result in different estimates of climate sensitivity.

In 2021, I received a BS in applied physics and mathematics from Stockton University, where I did some research in computational hydraulics.
