I am a postdoctoral associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change and Center for Global Change Science, where I am currently working as a member of the Joint Program's Integrated Global System Model (IGSM) on coupling the NCAR Community Atmosphere Model version 3.1 (CAM3.1) to the IGSM in order to achieve its 3-dimensional capabilities.

I received my Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science from the University of California, Davis in 2009 under the advisement of Professor Bryan C. Weare. For my doctoral research, I investigated the trends and ENSO impacts in the wave forcing of the stratospheric zonal-mean flow and ozone transport. During my graduate studies, I also examined the Madden-Julian Oscillation wind-convection coupling and the role of moisture processes using the mesoscale regional model MM5.

Before starting my doctoral research, I received a Master of Engineering in Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics in 2003 at the INPT ENSEEIHT (National Polytechnic Engineering Institute of Electrotechnology, Electronics, Computer Science, Hydraulics and Telecommunications), one of the top French engineering schools ("Grandes Écoles"), located in Toulouse, France.
