Previously, I was a Ziff Environmental Fellow in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard. I received my PhD from MIT in 2017, where I worked with Dara Entekhabi. I have undergraduate degrees in applied mathematics and environmental engineering from the University of Melbourne in Australia (where I’m from). Outside of work, I like reading, and hanging out with my wife and our dog, Beulah.

My first name is pronounced like the surname of Elena Kagan.
