I received my Ph.D. in Environmental Studies in 2023 from the University of California, Santa Cruz, with a Designated Emphasis in Statistics. My PhD dissertation focused on the interactions between climate change, plant phenology, and human society. Before that, I completed my undergraduate studies in Environmental Biology at the National University of Singapore.
I am interested in conducting interdisciplinary research in biodiversity and seasonality responses to global changes using big data and quantitative methods. Some of my research directions include phenological change, biodiversity change, ecological forecasting, and allergen phenology. In my postdoctoral research, I develop hierarchical Bayesian models to predict changes in phenology under global changes, informing both near-term forecasting and long-term projections.
