I am a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the University of Utah. Presently, I am studying glacier dynamics using ICEPACK model, developed by Daniel Shapero at the Polar Science Center, University of Washington. Additionally, I am investigating the impacts of glacier/ice on atmospheric circulations and hydroclimate patterns at local and regional scale using the Weather Research & Forecasting model (WRF) as part of the NASA HiMAT project. I also participated in MAGIC project, contributing to the examination of alpine glaciers’ mass balance and their effects on global sea level rise, as well as exploring broader socioeconomic implications.

Previously, I studied the teleconnection mechanisms associated with ecologically-relevant climate dipole, using both historical observational analysis and sea surface boundary forcing experiments using Community Earth System Model 2 (CESM2), mainly to understand how monsoonal and tropical convection drives large-scale climate dipoles which impact continent-wide bird irruption and forest masting.
