I am a graduate student in the MIT-WHOI Joint Program in Physical Oceanography. My interests span
  1. paleoclimate
  2. inverse modelling
  3. changes in ocean circulation
My current project involves using high-resolution benthic foraminiferal records to make inferences about Little Ice Age climate through inverse modelling. I'm enthusiastic about statistics, and writing nice code to do statistics.

As an undergraduate, I attended Northeastern University, where I worked in several capacities in the Earth Surface Systems Lab. There, I completed diverse computational research projects such as
  1. modelling oxbow lake flooding
  2. relating climate model output to historical river flooding
  3. connecting river morphology and modelled discharge
