Department: Civil and Environmental Engineering Faculty Adviser: Ning Lin Year of Study: G1 Undergraduate School: Northwestern University Undergraduate Major: Earth and Planetary Sciences
Hey there! My name is Aidan and I m from Orange County, CA. I graduated from Northwestern University in 2024 with a degree in Earth and Planetary Sciences. I then pursued a two-year research fellowship at Columbia University s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory before coming to Princeton. My personal and academic interests encompass all things relating to the Earth. As a researcher, I study hurricanes and their impact on society. Meanwhile, outside the lab, the Earth is my playground and my muse. I love running, camping, and hiking and have been doing photography for over a decade including lots of travel and landscape photography. Happy to chat about all things Earth or otherwise!
I ve been to 32 US national parks! My goal is to go to all 63 during my lifetime. Let me know if I can help plan your next road trip!
Hurricanes are bad, but they could get worse. By modeling hurricanes computationally, we can explore how global hurricane behavior might change in climate change conditions. Each storm poses an immense threat to society through hazards such as storm surge, rainfall, and wind. We can model these hazards to quantify future risk, which supports the design of buildings, infrastructure, and policies to better adapt to a changing climate. There are so many research directions in this urgent and growing field!
Interested in participating in Summer 2027 ReMatch+ program.
