About Me

I am a Career Track Research Scientist in the Earth System Sciences Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where I am part of the CASCADE group. My research develops data-driven spatio-temporal statistical methods for atmospheric, environmental, and ecological problems. I bucket my research into three areas: statistical dynamical modeling, including data-driven discovery of nonlinear dynamical equations and physics-informed neural networks; probabilistic models for orthonormal matrices and tensor-valued dependent data; and collaborative environmental statistics, including climate extremes, snow hydrology, AI climate emulators, and freshwater and estuarine ecosystems. I am generally interested in spatio-temporal statistics, computational methods, variable selection, data visualization, and sports statistics.

I received a B.S. in Applied Mathematics, B.A. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and a minor in Statistics from the University of Colorado Boulder (CU) in 2017. After CU, I completed a Ph.D. at the University of Missouri Columbia (Mizzou) working with Drs. Christopher Wikle and Erin Schliep. While at Mizzou, I taught introductory probability and statistics and helped develop Methods in Sports Analytics I and II, the foundational courses for the Sports Statistics program.

Some of my interests outside of work include soccer (or football, I am an avid Tottenham fan - COYS), rock climbing, snowboarding, hiking, backpacking, and camping. Feel free to shoot me an email if you want to get in touch!
