A concern about climate change is a major motivator that pushed me to start learning more about climate science which led me to start doing research on the physics of monsoons during my undergraduate degree.
I quickly fell in love with the subject as I realized climate physics uniquely dovetails my interests like data visualization and physics.
Academically, I am interested in studying broad, fundamental questions about tropical climate. Large components of the tropical climate like
monsoons, the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), and hurricanes particularly capture my attention, especially considering how they evolve with climate change.
