This project centers on analyzing how climate change will impact freshwater availability in the future. I look to determine whether the difference between precipitation and evapotranspiration is equal to run-off. To do this, I am analyzing climate model simulations and their response to changes in atmospheric CO2 concentrations in an effort to assess the effect that changes in moisture have on future drought-risks in North America. I use the data collected by model experiments from phase 6 of… Show more This project centers on analyzing how climate change will impact freshwater availability in the future. I look to determine whether the difference between precipitation and evapotranspiration is equal to run-off. To do this, I am analyzing climate model simulations and their response to changes in atmospheric CO2 concentrations in an effort to assess the effect that changes in moisture have on future drought-risks in North America. I use the data collected by model experiments from phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), the latest phase of a collaborative framework that works to improve climate models and their assessment of climate change. With these model experiments, I will then perform a model-by-model analysis using Python to determine how to simulate seasonal-scale droughts for selected North American drought events. Show less

As a research assistant, I am analyzing research articles, collecting data relating to sand in beaches of volcanic origin, and using QGIS to map the data collected. My role also includes analyzing methods to attain higher efficiency and provide suggestions for improvement of current forms of ocean and solar energy. Simultaneously, I am also working on a project that focuses on the formation and structure of hurricanes. I am collecting data from atmospheric and ocean models that analyzes the physics of hurricanes and understand the relationship between the atmosphere and the ocean during a hurricane. Show less

Boulder, Colorado, United States

Participated as a summer research Protégé (Intern) in the Significant Opportunities in Atmospheric Research and Science (SOARS) program. As an intern, I conducted a statistical analysis in Python to compare the frequency and intensity of atmospheric river occurrence in three different climate scenarios (present day, 1.5 C above preindustrial levels, and 2 C above preindustrial levels)

Served as a teaching assistant for ENGS:034 Introduction to Fluid Mechanics.

Designed and assessed the implementation of an Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) 50MW plant off the coast of the Island of Cozumel in Mexico. Served as co-captain for a multinational team of 11 students for the U.S. Department of Energy's 2021 Marine Energy Collegiate Competition. Received the Moonshot Award for our innovative and ambitious project.

As an Undergraduate Research Fellow, I conducted a numerical analysis in an effort to formulate an understanding of the areas where Moffatt eddies may exist. This project required the application of fundamental theories of physics and fluid dynamics, as well as a basic comprehension of glaciology. Our aim was to mathematically determine how glaciers move and behave under different climate scenarios, in order to better predict future glacier behavior. To do so, I formulated a mathematical… Show more As an Undergraduate Research Fellow, I conducted a numerical analysis in an effort to formulate an understanding of the areas where Moffatt eddies may exist. This project required the application of fundamental theories of physics and fluid dynamics, as well as a basic comprehension of glaciology. Our aim was to mathematically determine how glaciers move and behave under different climate scenarios, in order to better predict future glacier behavior. To do so, I formulated a mathematical model based off certain characteristics of glaciers, such as formation of Moffatt eddies in sub-glacial mountain valley regions. Show less

I helped create spaces for students, staff, and community members to come together to learn different ways in which they can get involved in conversations relating to energy. I worked with a team, but I mainly focused on outreach strategies and event planning for the Irving Institute. I also designed a comparative analysis of existing energy-related college majors and programs in an effort to promote energy-related programs as well as integrate topics relating to energy into the Dartmouth… Show more I helped create spaces for students, staff, and community members to come together to learn different ways in which they can get involved in conversations relating to energy.
