I am an NDSEG Fellow and PhD student in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science at the University of Maryland.  My research interests lie at the intersection of tropical meteorology and machine learning.  I previously earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Rice University and an MS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, followed by several years of professional experience before starting my PhD.  Outside of research, I enjoy spending time outdoors, listening to music, cooking, and watching basketball (Go Knicks!)
