I grew up in New York City and attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where I studied Physics. At MIT I became fascinated by the beauty and complexity of the Earth system, as well as the fundamental challenge of predicting the future climate. Through research projects at MIT, NOAA, and NASA, I have spent the past several years developing statistical methods for climate prediction. I am broadly interested in using novel mathematical and computational methods to make climate models more useful for climate adaptation. At Cambridge, I will obtain my MPhil in Quantitative Climate and Environmental Science. I will research the application of data-driven methods such as machine learning to the study of climate predictability. I believe that better climate models and prediction capabilities are crucial to addressing the impacts of climate change equitably and effectively. I am excited to join the global community of Gates Cambridge scholars dedicated to improving our changing world.
