Postdoc Scientist

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. My recent research focuses on extreme fires, one of the most societally and environmentally destructive consequences of climate change.

I work with Prof. John Abatzoglou, who leads the Climatology Lab at University of California, Merced.
