I am a PhD student at the University of Waterloo in Systems Design Engineering. I started my program in 2019 focusing on estimating sea ice concentration and sea ice edge using passive microwave retrieval algorithms over the Arctic. My main interest is to analyze the performance of such sea ice algorithms and develop a method to adjust the bias associated with them to obtain more-accurate sea ice data before their use in sea ice-related tasks.
My passion for sea ice in Polar Regions motivates me to work and promote my perspective on Arctic and environmental systems, improve the quality of my research, and build my career network. Developing my knowledge of new ideas and research methods, and subsequently implementing them in vulnerable regions under certain circumstances, is a key component of my goal. I have greatly enjoyed my doctorate research experience on Arctic sea ice. I would like to gain new experiences, collaborate with Indigenous communities in the North, interconnect with other groups active in Arctic research and policy, improve my skills, and broaden my understanding of the cryosphere.
