I’m a climate scientist, focused on atmospheric chemistry and aerosols, in particular biomass burning emissions and their impact on Earth System processes. My current work at Princeton University (CIMES), in collaboration with NOAA GFDL, involves developing innovative methods to represent wildfire plume injection and dynamic biomass burning emissions in Earth System Models. I analyze the influence of fire emissions to better understand fire-emitted aerosols' direct and indirect effects on climate and study interactions of chemistry with climate and ecosystems. Previously, I contributed to advancing aerosol-cloud interaction studies and air quality modeling at the University of Houston. My research integrates observational data and modeling techniques to advance predictions of fire impacts on air quality, radiative forcing, and the climate system, improving our understanding of the interplay between fires and climate.
