About Me

I am a third year Ph.D. student in atmospheric chemistry working with Daniel Jacob at Harvard University. I am currently working on improving constraints on methane emissions in South America using an analytic inversion of TROPOMI and GOSAT satellite observations. I am also interested in the role of climate variability on atmospheric composition. In my free time I enjoy cooking vegan food, napping, and walking around Somerville.
