Welcome to the Climate Health Interactions Lab (CHIL) at Cal State East Bay in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences.
Before joining CSUEB, I was a researcher in the Department of Geography at UCLA (2017-2020). I worked with Greg Okin and Dennis Lettenmaier on a project focused on studying the effects of climate variability on infectious diseases (West Nile virus and Valley Fever) in California.
