I am a geoscientist and climate scientist with doctoral experience in developing tools and methodologies to support assessments of deep uncertainty, particularly for geophysical models and climate change impact analyses on natural-human systems like agriculture. I have expertise in large ensemble exploratory modeling in the context of understanding novel system interactions, informing decision-making and risk, high-performance computing, and data science/analytics.

###### Interests
 * Exploratory Modeling of Earth/Natural-Human Systems
 * Climate Change and its Impacts
 * Decision-Making under Deep Uncertainty
 * Risk, especially from Natural Catastrophes and Hazards
 * Numerical and Statistical Modeling, Physics-Based Simulation
 * Data Science

###### Education
 * **PhD**, Geosciences with Climate Science Dual-Title. 2026. _The Pennsylvania State University_.
 * **BSc**, Physics with Mathematics minor. 2015. _The Pennsylvania State University_.
