The UNFCCC COP25 in Madrid, Spain in Dec 2019
I am a third-year PhD candidate working with Prof. Patrick Keys in Earth and Environment at Boston University. My research focuses on future projections of extreme climate events, particularly heatwaves and heavy rainfalls, over the contiguous US using various climate models and storyline approaches.
I earned my Bachelor's degrees in both Atmospheric Sciences and Science Technology and Society (STS) in 2020. I then pursued a Master's degree in the Climate Theory Lab, completing it in 2022. During my Master's program, I worked on climate reversibility and hysteresis of European summer heat extremes, precipitation, and gross primary productivity in response to 1% CO2 ramp-up and -down forcing. This research was conducted under the guidance of Profs. Soon-Il An and Daehyun Kim.
Please get in touch if you want to work together on climate extremes, hydrology, and land-sea-air interaction!
