Biography
I am a second-year graduate student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I also completed my undergraduate degrees in atmospheric sciences and economics. My research consists of using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to retrospectively analyze significant flooding events that impacted the city of Chicago. Using the results, I am working to produce an operational flood forecasting tool that hydraulic infrastructure managers can employ to optimize flood mitigation strategies. Outside of meteorology, I enjoy gardening, reading, music, hiking, and sports.
