Biography

I completed my undergraduate in physics and masters in mathematics at Cal State Northridge, where I researched geometric aspects of inflationary cosmological models in general relativity. During my PhD studies in mathematics I investigated the dynamics of interacting many-body quantum systems, in particular the effects of disorder on the dynamics of quantum spin systems. Most recently, I have come to JPL to work on physical and numerical aspects of climate modeling. I am interested in exploring machine learning and data science applications to climate science.
