Reconstructed a 70-year climatology of oceanic precipitation and trends from 1950-2019 using shipboard present weather reports from the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS), supported by NASA Grant#80NSSC22K0601.

Ithaca, New York, United States

Studied the impact of climate change on extreme rainfall rates at subdaily to subhourly timescales under the supervision of Dr. Arthur DeGaetano, director of the Northeast Regional Climate Center. Included extensive use of Python and NCEI datasets with a focus on the Mid-Atlantic region.

Silver Spring, Maryland, United States

Helped transition the legacy code for the Climatology-based Quantitative Rainfall (CLIQR) tropical cyclone rainfall analog matching system from Perl to Python and update its data assimilation system. Also extended CLIQR's functionality to ingest National Hurricane Center forecast tracks and produce realtime data visualizations. Expanded WPC's tropical cyclone rainfall graphical database to 1900. Internship was part of the selective William M. Lapenta NOAA Student Internship Program.

Understanding the power of remote sensing can help us monitor volcanic activity and thermal features before eruptions happen. Despite their critical importance to society, many volcanoes do not have the ground equipment necessary to evaluate their activity on a frequent and confident basis. Using thermal infrared data from ASTER, volcanoes and other thermal features can be monitored with higher spatial and temporal resolution, which will ultimately be consolidated into an accessible thermal feature database, beginning with "proving grounds" in Latin America and expanding globally. Conducting data collection and thermal feature analysis and evaluation under the supervision of Dr. Kevin Reath in a broader project led by Dr. Matthew Pritchard in coordination with Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
