PhD Candidate, School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, Stony Brook University

PhD Candidate in Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at the State University of New York at Stony Brook (SoMAS), advised by Minghao Qiu. My research sits at the intersection of climate change, air quality, and public health. I use frontier statistical models, machine learning algorithms, climate models, and air quality models to understand how climate change affects human health through air pollution.

I am also interested in the detection and attribution of climate change and climate variability, including climate extremes, as well as the assessment of their impacts. I am always happy to connect with anyone who shares similar interests.
