About

I am an Assistant Research Scientist at University of Maryland, Baltimore County, working under Goddard Earth Sciences Technology and Research (GESTAR) II cooperative agreement at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Global Modeling and Assimilation Office to support NASA’s mission. Before joining UMBC, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences at University at Albany, State University of New York. Prior to joining SUNY Albany, I also worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Yonsei University in South Korea. I have Ph.D, MS, and BS in Atmospheric Sciences from Yonsei University.
