I am a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences (jointly, at the International Arctic Research Center) at UAF. My research focuses on the extratropical atmospheric circulations across synoptic to planetary scales and their role in local extremes in present and future climates.

I combine theory, reanalysis & climate model data analysis, and idealized modeling to understand and isolate the key physical mechanisms governing weather and climate systems.

Prior to joining UAF, I was a postdoc working with Yi Ming at Boston College. I earned my PhD from Seoul National University where I worked with Seok-Woo Son.
