I am now a postdoc at the Laboratoire des sciences du climat et de l’environnement (LSCE) in Gif-sur-Yvette, France.
I was a post-doc in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley, (2008). Prior to that, I was a graduate student in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, also at UCB.
My research interests are in the global climate and biogeochemical cycles. My thesis work combined remote sensing and computer models to explore the role of desert dust in the global climate.
