Bio: I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at Florida State University (FSU). 

My research explores how terrestrial ecosystems respond to climate variability, elevated atmospheric CO2, and disturbance events (e.g., fires, droughts). I focus on integrating field observations, remote sensing data, and process–based models to quantify and predict ecosystem water, energy, carbon fluxes, productivity, and demography.

I earned my Ph.D. in Hydrometeorology from the University of Arizona in 2021, where I investigated changes in water storage and the underlying mechanisms arising from climate variations, human interventions, and local topography in drylands. During my postdoctoral training at Harvard University, I expanded my research to include predicting forest ecosystem dynamics under future extreme hydroclimatological events in California, using data assimilation and terrestrial biosphere modeling. Before joining FSU in 2024, I was a faculty member at the University of Birmingham (United Kingdom), where I developed my research interest in carbon-water dynamics using observational data from the Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) experiment at the Birmingham Institute for Forest Research (BIFoR).
