Engineering at Colorado
State University as research professor. Since 2019
she is also the Machine Learning lead for the Cooperative
Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) at CSU.
For the past 10 years her research has focused
on applying data science methods, primarily
machine learning and causal discovery, for applications in
weather and climate. She is the lead of the CSU team of
the NSF AI Institute for Research
on Trustworthy AI in Weather, Climate, and Coastal
Oceanography (AI2ES)
