My research interests converge at the intersection of atmospheric dynamics and climate variability, toward understanding the profound impacts of climate change on regional and global scales. I explore the intricate interplay between large-scale atmospheric circulation and various Earth components such as sea ice, clouds, and radiation. 

My current research focus (at NASA GISS/Columbia) is understanding the complex relationship between atmospheric circulation and cloud changes over the midlatitudes. During my doctoral research (Purdue University/visiting researcher at Columbia University),  I investigated the impact of Arctic Sea ice loss on atmospheric circulation anomalies and extreme winter events via a stratospheric pathway.
