Philosopher of Science specializing in Climate Modeling, XAI, and Interdisciplinary Research Support

Profile Summary

I’m a philosopher of science specializing in climate modeling, scientific reasoning, and values in science. I hold a PhD from Indiana University and am currently an Assistant Professor at CUNY Queens College. I’ve published peer-reviewed articles in top journals across philosophy and climate science (Climatic Change, Geoscientific Model Development, Synthese), and I offer expert support for academic writing, interdisciplinary research communication, and grant proposal development. My goal is to help researchers refine their arguments and communicate clearly across disciplinary boundaries.
