My commitment is rooted in the belief that science should not only explain the world, but also help us care for it. Through research and teaching, I seek to illuminate the hidden patterns behind environmental hazards and unexpected events, giving voice to their economic and social consequences in a changing climate.
Guided by rigor, integrity, and curiosity, I am devoted to sharing knowledge that empowers understanding, resilience, and thoughtful action—bridging data and meaning, analysis and awareness.
In my professional life, I deal in probabilities. I build models where "unexpected observations" are neatly tucked into the thin, tapering tails of a distribution curve. We call them outliers. We treat them as mathematical ghosts—things that haunt the data but rarely materialize.
