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 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 (3 km horizontal resolution) climate projections for the Northeastern United States, which consist of 65 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.
