My research interests include pattern recognition, topological data analysis, machine learning (including deep learning), dynamical systems, and climate science.

In particular, I develop and apply topological methods and machine learning techniques for detecting extreme weather events (patterns), e.g. Atmospheric Rivers and Atmospheric Blocks.

I participate in ARTMIP -- Atmospheric River Tracking Method Intercomparison Project.
