Translational Climate Researcher

I am a translational climate researcher and doctoral Research Assistant currently pursuing a joint PhD in Geography with a concentration in Climate Science, at San Diego State University and the University of California, Santa Barbara. My work integrates remote sensing, environmental modeling, and machine learning to generate actionable, data-driven insights for climate decision-making. My research has so far spanned four continents and is grounded in interdisciplinary collaboration that prioritizes scientific rigor, social relevance, and policy readiness.
