about me:

I am a graduate student in the Department of Earth & Planetary Science at the University of California Berkeley. Currently I am working with Inez Fung studying water and carbon cycle interactions during drought.

I have masters degree from Columbia University during which I worked with Adam Sobel and Mark Cane at Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory studying tropical atmospheric dynamics.
