Increasing synchronicity of global extreme fire weather
Concurrent extreme fire weather creates favorable conditions for widespread large fires, which can complicate the coordination of fire suppression resources and degrade regional …
About Me
I am an early-career climate scientist pushing the boundaries of understanding wildfires and climate extremes using hydroclimatic, data-driven, and geostatistical approaches. My work has led to step-changes in understanding the synchronicity and persistence of extreme fire weather, factors that strongly influence extreme fires.
I work with Prof. John Abatzoglou, who leads the Climatology Lab at University of California, Merced.

My Research
Benefiting from world-class supervision and collaboration, I focus my recent work on extreme fires, one of the most societally and environmentally destructive consequences of climate change.
I increasingly concentrate on predicting extreme fires and developing a mechanistic understanding of their causes, contributing to advances in fire science and fire management, with the potential to save lives and property. Please reach out to collaborate!
