I came to glaciology through a winding path: engineering, earth observation, markets analysis for space applications, and now climate science.
My research focuses on uncertainty in cryosphere models. I use statistical methods to probe what we know (and don’t know) about ice sheet dynamics and alpine glacier responses to a changing climate. Beyond the models, I’m interested in how this work can inform adaptation and risk management in specific places, from coastal Georgia to the Himalayas.
The thread connecting everything: uncertainty, infrastructure exposure, and the ways communities are exposed to climate change.
From time to time, I also work on applied projects in climate and water risk, earth‑observation‑based analysis, and adaptation planning and policy support.
Otherwise, I am usually climbing, writing/researching, practicing music, and learning to fly.
