My research focuses on improving the understanding of the link between Tropical Cyclones (TCs) and their associated impacts in the past and under future climate conditions. These impacts include inland and coastal flooding, rainfall-induced soil erosion, and ecosystem recovery. I am also interested in evaluating the accuracy of forecasting TC-related flood and surge compounding in different areas across the United States. I’m advised by Gabriele Villarini, professor in the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
