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 fire activity.
I work with Prof. John Abatzoglou, who leads the Climatology Lab at University of California, Merced.
While overall impacts of heatwaves have been extensively studied, the connection between heatwaves and wildfire activity remains relatively underexplored. We analyze links between …
Our new study on synchronous fire weather in Science Advances received media coverage from several outlets.
Concurrent extreme fire weather creates favorable conditions for widespread large fires, which can complicate the coordination of fire suppression resources and degrade regional …

Fire weather waves (FWWs), defined as persistent extreme fire weather, can elevate extreme fire danger by sustaining favorable burning conditions over multiple consecutive days. …
Extreme fire weather, characterized by exceptionally dry, warm, and often windy conditions, increases fire danger by enhancing fuel dryness and promoting fire spread. This seminar …
