Welcome to My Website!
My first name originates from the French word "Muguet", which means "Lilly of the Valley". Click on Muguet to learn the correct pronunciation.I am a Citizen of the United States. I am a Research Scientist at the Center for Global Change Science, Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I am an atmospheric physicist. I study climate change and its impacts in regional and local scales through interdisciplinary studies and cultivating communication between climate scientists and the end user. |
To study changes in the mean regional climate and extreme events and to support regional sustainability studies, I created the First high-resolution climate projections for the Northeastern United States, which consist of 55 years of simulations with hourly output of more than 200 climate variables. (2 Petabytes of data, public climate dataset).
Check out the Climate Projections tab above for detailed projected changes in the Northeastern U.S.

Project 1: Climate change in the Arabian Peninsula: Changes in extreme events (precipitation, heat events and dust storms), impacts on regional livability, water resources, infrastructure, energy demand.
Project 2: Generated the first High-resolution (3 km) Climate Projections for the Northeastern U.S. for an National Science Foundation funded interdisciplinary project to study climate change impacts and sustainability in New Hampshire.
Project 3: Also worked on an NSF funded study (co-PI) to improve simulated warming, aerosol-cloud-climate interactions in paleo Earth System Models
