I am a project scientist in the Sierra Nevada Research Institute at the University of California Merced. I earned a Ph.D. in Physics from Washington State University in 2010 and also have degrees in Applied Mathematics and Statistics. Since 2011, I have been working with climatologist Dr. John Abatzoglou in the Applied Climate Science Lab as a climate data analyst, a climate data provider and a web developer of visualization tools for both climate and remote sensing datasets. I am a lead web developer on both ClimateToolbox.org and ClimateEngine.org.
