I am a research associate in the Mahadevan Group at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. My work is motivated by the question of how clouds interact with the upper ocean – a big question that leads to broad interests. I spend a lot of my time out in nature looking for cool clouds and plants and birds. Take a look at my blog to see what I’ve been finding lately.

My PhD work was in string theory. My thesis on M-theory/heterotic duality was advised by Professor David Morrison, and I was a member of the Simons Collaboration on Special Holonomy in Geometry, Analysis, and Physics. I was previously a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow, and before that I completed my BSc in physics and mathematics at Stanford University.
