About Me
I am a second-year graduate student researching the representation of the stratospheric climate in atmospheric models. I am a member of the Atmospheric Dynamics Modeling Group (linked below). My faculty advisors are Christiane Jablonowski and Mark Flanner.
I have a bachelor's degree in physics from Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, MN. I conducted undergraduate research at the University of Michigan as part of the Program in Climate and Space Science Observation (PICASSO).
I am an avid trumpet player, having performed in the U.S. and abroad as a member of various ensembles. I also enjoy gardening, hiking, and cycling.
Research Interests:
Computational fluid dynamics as applied to Earth's climate
Stratospheric dynamics
The Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO)
Brewer-Dobson Circulation
Stratospheric water vapor
Stratosphere-Troposphere Exchange
The impact of volcanic eruptions on the climate
