 I study theoretical aspects of atmospheric dynamics. My research aims to improve our understanding of the wide variety of scales in the atmosphere to bridge the weather-climate gap, especially the role of moist convection on high-impact extreme weather and climate events.

 I have recently obtained a Ph.D. from The University of Chicago. My dissertation research is focused on the fundamental dynamics of a 20-30 day periodic behavior in the storm tracks – a newly identified climatic driver and early warning of extremes.
