Me

I am a JSMF postdoctoral fellow in MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences.

I did my undergraduate work at Harvard, where I studied Physics and Philosophy. I received my PhD from UChicago’s Department of Geophysical Sciences, where I worked on the atmospheres of extrasolar planets and past climates of Earth.

Kudos to Henri Drake, who made a neat visualization of CO2’s greenhouse effect using PyRADS.

Find out what Henri did here.

Enough of seeing red? The shortwave version of PyRADS is now on github.

I’ve recently developed PyRADS, a line-by-line radiation code appropriate for research in planetary atmospheres and for teaching radiative transfer, which runs (almost) entirely in Python! To download the code, go to my github.
