About Me

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Princeton University studying tropical and extratropical cyclones. My previous research topics include turbulence modeling and data assimilation.

Outside of research, I enjoy water sports, even though I get seasick easily. I am allergic to seafood, despite growing up near the ocean. Tropical cyclones played a significant role in my childhood experiences. The more I learn about them, the more I am humbled by the power of nature, and the more I hope to contribute to creating a community better prepared for natural disasters.
