I am currently a 5th-year Ph.D. student at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University. My research revolves around better understanding how meteorology and geography combine to produce climate extremes at local and regional scales. To accomplish this, I employ a variety of tools ranging from analysis of observational data and output from global climate models to customized runs of regional climate models. My interests also include helping disseminate climate information to best effect changes in the real world, via impacts assessments, policy advising, and educational and outreach activities.

-Lead chapter author of a review of the meteorology and impacts of extreme heat for an impacts- and policy-oriented audience (with Dim Coumou, Tim Foreman, Andrew King, Kai Kornhuber, Corey Lesk, Camilo Mora, Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick, Simone Russo, and Sem Vijverberg). In press as

-Lead author of a quantification of the moderation of extreme heat along the eastern-US coastline by sea breezes, and of the effect of model biases relating to this moderation on projections of future extreme heat (with Justin Mankin, submitted to Geophys. Res. Lett.).
-Lead author of an assessment of the highest global heat-humidity combinations in the observational record, the results of which imply that existing projections need significant upward revision (with Tom Matthews and Radley Horton, in revision at Sci. Adv.).
-Lead author of an ongoing investigation of the energetic constraints of the global most extreme humid heat (with Erich Fischer).
