I am an interdisciplinary researcher with joint appointment in CGD and CISL. 

My current research focuses on responsible and reliable ML/AI in Earth system science. I am PI of the NSF FAIROS-funded project "Expanding FAIR principles for NCAR Data Commons [GDEX] to Ensure Responsible Use Through Fitness-for-Purpose Literacy". 

My key expertise is in philosophy of climate science--epistemology and ethics. I received my PhD in Philosophy from Indiana University at Bloomington under the guidance of Elisabeth A. Lloyd, PhD and Dr. Warren Washington.

I am currently the co-chair of the joint CMIP-RIfS Responsible Data Use Task Team, and co-chair of the Robust Information Working Group, and the associated Task Team on Ethics, Values, and Transparency. See our recent guidance for using model benchmarks for model selection from the RDU TT here. 

A recent paper, "Addressing Epistemic Risk in Actionable Earth System Science," in BAMS.
