My research interests include extreme weather events, large-scale dynamics and variability of the atmosphere, and social impacts of climate change. I am also interested in making science as equitable, open, and accessible as possible. Currently, my work is focused on AI-based approaches to quantifying and explaining uncertainty and inequity in geoscience.
