My main research focuses are in data assimilation and uncertainty quantification. More specifically, my research aims to develop new methods of assessing how error covariances evolve, and apply these methods to both Gaussian and non-Gaussian data assimilation methods. I plan to extend this research to apply to AI/ML driven numerical weather prediction.
