Biography

I am a Staff Scientist working in the Climate Sciences Department. I design, test and evaluate numerical models to investigate the feedbacks between land processes and the climate. My primary research focuses on the terrestrial carbon-nutrient cycling, with an emphasis on designing reaction-based biogeochemical models. I also work on other topics such as hydrology, soil physics and inverse theory, with the grand goal of improving the capability of the community earth system model.
