I am a Hess Postdoctoral Fellow at Princeton University working with Gabriel Vecchi. Prior to this, I got my PhD at Columbia University in August 2023 working with Lorenzo Polvani and Clara Orbe.

My research focuses on understanding how the climate system responds to a wide range of CO2 perturbations. To achieve this, I conduct experiments employing climate models with varying levels of complexity, ranging from comprehensive Earth System Models to basic idealized conceptual models. The scope of this question is quite broad, so my work includes few topics such as climate sensitivity, radiative feedbacks, forcing, and large scale atmospheric and ocean dynamics.

Feel free to contact me for discussions or potential collaborations.
