I work at the intersection of climate science, AI/ML, and applied risk modeling — translating environmental simulation into decision-support tools for communities, policymakers, and resource managers. My research spans academic inquiry and applied innovation, with an emphasis on making complex physical systems legible and actionable under a changing climate.
Research Interests
- Climate risk modeling — flood hazards, sea level rise, extreme events, and compound coastal-pluvial flooding
- AI/ML in environmental systems — emulator models, statistical learning, and data-driven prediction for ocean and hydrologic applications
- Ocean and coastal dynamics — storm surge, tropical cyclones, internal waves, coral reef hydrodynamics, and boundary layer physics
- Decision-support systems — translating model output into risk assessments and tools for climate resilience
- Interdisciplinary collaboration across academic, government, and industry partners on federally funded programs (NSF, ONR)
