I am an Associate Research Professor at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University. I study tropical cyclones and climate. I received my B.S, and M.S. in Atmospheric Science at the National Taiwan University, and my Ph.D at the Meteorology and Physical Oceanography division of the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) at the University of Miami. There are three distinct, but connected themes in my current research: subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) tropical cyclone prediction, climate change impacts on regional tropical cyclone activity, and tropical cyclone risk. Across all of these themes, I seek to improve our understanding of the physical processes driving tropical cyclones, including both their internal dynamics and the way climate influences them. I then apply this physical understanding to the development, evaluation and use of predictive models. I constructed an open-source tropical cyclone risk model that I am currently using for long-term risk assessment in both the current and projected future climates, at local, regional and global scales. I am also working to improve seasonal hurricane forecasts on subseasonal (2-4 weeks) time scales. I work with experts from a wide range of disciplines, including communications, economics, civil engineering, public health, and others, to build a pathway from my work in physical science research to applications --- including disaster risk reduction, climate adaptation, and emergency management --- and maximize the benefit it brings to human society. In 2021, I was awarded the Natural Hazards Early Career Award from the American Geophysical Union.
