HMEI-STEP Fellow 2024
Role
Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences
Bio/Description

I am currently a PhD candidate in the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences department, with a keen interest in the intersection of science and policy for addressing environmental crises. My core research focuses on modeling and quantifying the ocean carbon cycle using models developed by the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, supervised by Pr. Laure Resplandy. As a fellow of the HMEI-STEP Program, I am working with Prof. Michael Oppenheimer on the development and evaluation of a regulatory framework and monitoring tools for climate change mitigation technologies based on ocean geoengineering. Prior to coming to Princeton, I obtained a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Earth and Planetary Science from Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS), Paris, France, and the ENS diploma (M.A. equivalent) with a focus on Environmental Policy and International Affairs.
