Graduate Assistant
Department of Statistics • Iowa State University

Welcome to my website. I am a Ph.D. student co-majoring in statistics and meteorology at Iowa State University. I am a NSF Research and Training Group (RTG) fellow. The RTG program at ISU is designed to develop connections between statisticians and applications in engineering and the physical sciences.

Research Interests

My current research is focused on applications of spatio-temporal statistical modeling for environmental problems, specifically in meteorology. I am particularly interested in applying these methods to numerical models, specifically for assessing uncertainty and prediction of the hydrologic cycle. For more details, please visit my research page.
