Her research focuses on weather patterns in Southeast Asia, particularly enhancing subseasonal forecast skill for high-impact weather events like heavy rainfall, floods, and landslides. Methodologies include tiered and flat clustering techniques applied to large-scale atmospheric circulation data (e.g., El Niño–Southern Oscillation, monsoon systems) and synoptic-scale variability (e.g., tropical cyclones, equatorial waves). She evaluates forecast skill using metrics like the Brier score and ROC skill scores, emphasizing spatial aggregation effects on predictive performance.
Key article trends demonstrate how pattern-conditioned forecasts leverage predictable large-scale circulation features (monsoons, ENSO) to improve subseasonal rainfall predictions, outperforming direct model simulations for lead times up to 20 days in certain regions. Subfields include precipitation exceedance modeling, regional climate variability analysis, and impact-based forecasting for disaster mitigation.
Contributions: Data curation, formal analysis, investigation, visualization, and writing (original draft and review). Collaborated on developing and evaluating pattern-conditioned probabilistic rainfall forecasts for Southeast Asia.
