I am a climate change scientist and crop modeler. I study food systems and global food security at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, The Earth Institute at Columbia University, and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). As a central initiative within AgMIP, I co-lead AgGRID and the Global Gridded Crop Model Intercomparison (GGCMI), and I am the coordinator of the agriculture sector in ISIMIP, a cross-sectoral model intercomparison project.
I also act as Associate Deputy Editor for the journal Climatic Change, as Associate Editor for the journal Anthropocene, and I am Editorial Board Member for the journal Agriculture.
