I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University, where I work with Peter Huybers . My research focuses on applying modern statistical techniques to paleoclimate reconstruction problems. I have been working on a hierarchical Bayesian model to assimilate various surface temperature proxies (ice cores, tree ring widths and densities), along with the modern instrumental record, to reconstruct the spatial pattern of Northern Hemisphere temperatures over the last 500 years.
