Research summary
AI-generated

This bibliographic record appears to blend two distinct strands of work: atmospheric and climate science (studying extreme weather like tornado outbreaks, heat stress, and ozone under climate warming) and neuroscience/biomedical imaging (using zebrafish and mice to study brain circuits, neuromodulation, and imaging techniques). It is possible that this record combines publications from more than one researcher sharing the same name, since the topics and methods are largely unrelated. Prospective students should verify which specific line of work and lab this refers to before drawing conclusions about research direction.

Publication output has been variable but shows an increase in recent years, rising from about 2-3 papers per year in 2021-2022 to 6-7 in 2025-2026.
