About me
I’m a postdoctoral associate with the Rutgers University Department of Environmental and Biological Sciences, working with Alan Robock and others in the Rutgers Impact Studies of Climate Intervention (RISCI) group. I live in Boulder, Colorado, where I collaborate closely with the Terrestrial Sciences Section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).
