Jaden Lau

I am a first-year M.S. Student investigating wildfire risk and its relationship to large-scale climate drivers and teleconnections. I'm working with Dr. Francina Dominguez and in collaboration with the U.S. Corps of Engineers Construction Engineering Research Laboratory. 

I was previously an undergraduate at Cornell University, studying both Atmospheric Sciences and Environment & Sustainability, and minoring in Climate Change. I joined the Precipitation and Climate Research Group led by Dr. Angeline Pendergrass, completing multiple projects, culminating in an honors thesis investigating the role of land-atmosphere interactions in flash drought formation and evolution.
