Research
In my work at the Computation Institute I support research at the intersection of climate change science and economics by managing datasets for integrated assessment models. The goal is to model global agricultural production using simulated future weather and commodity price trajectories. My interests and expertise include databases, geographic information systems, reproducible research, and literate programming.
