Profile
I am a meteorologist and a climate modeller with special interest in the past, present and future climate. I specialise in advanced ice sheet and climate modelling. My interest lies in leveraging data-driven insights to address the most pressing climate challenges of our time. I have experience in designing and implementing high-precision climate models to simulate and predict climate dynamics. Currently am studying the collapse of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet (CIS) during the Quaternary, using glacial dipsticks to constrain Ice Sheet Modeling. The project aims to produce the first 3-D reconstruction of CIS collapse during the last deglaciation through a paired data-modeling approach.
