About Me

A quick snapshot, optimized for the web.

What I work on

I build models and datasets that connect observations to solar-cycle physics: surface flux transport (AFT/SFT), active-region emergence, and full-Sun magnetic reconstructions.

Solar cycle variability Full-Sun magnetic maps Polar fields Far-side ARs

How I work

  • Build robust, reproducible data pipelines for solar archives.
  • Validate models with multi-observatory comparisons and uncertainty checks.
  • Design ML-ready products for analysis and forecasting workflows.
