Dissertation Topic: Quantifying the Contributions of Environmental Variables to Severe Convective Storms (SCS) Evolution: A Data-Driven Approach

Research Statement: My research focuses on understanding and forecasting extreme weather events, such as severe convective storms, based on remote sensing, causal inference, and interpretable AI/ML. Leveraging high-resolution environmental datasets and advanced computational methods, I aim to uncover the underlying mechanisms driving the development of extreme weather events. I am especially interested in enhancing early-warning systems and climate resilience by developing data-driven models at multiple spatial and temporal scales.
