I'm a PhD candidate studying how wildfires affect glacier albedo and melt in western Canada. My research brings together satellite observations, atmospheric modelling, and Bayesian statistics to investigate how particles from wildfire smoke can darken snow and ice.
Much of what I build starts with my own research: finding papers, checking sources, working through an analysis, or revising a manuscript. These projects grew out of wanting those steps to work better together.
🧑🔬 Atelier Studio. Research spreads across papers, scripts, figures, and drafts. I built a macOS workspace that brings them together, with Zotero, a PDF reader, code and LaTeX editing, and AI assistance alongside the material I'm working on.
📚 Ragdoc. I wanted to ask questions across my own scientific library and return to the passages behind an answer. Ragdoc connects that library to AI assistants through MCP, with search, document reading, and source context.
📥 Ragdrop. The companion macOS app for preparing that library. Import papers from Finder or Zotero, compare extracted text with the original PDF, and approve documents before adding them to Ragdoc.
🔎 Scholar MCP. Literature searches often mean repeating the same query across databases. Scholar searches multiple scholarly sources, merges their results, removes duplicates, and ranks papers by relevance through one interface for AI assistants.
✍️ Corpuscribe. A scientific writing companion grounded in the language of published research. I'm developing it to compare formulations and find examples in a literature corpus, keeping the article and page references attached so I can check the wording in context.
🏔️ Alongside these tools, I'm working on my doctoral research into wildfire deposition, glacier darkening, and melt. I'm especially interested in connecting satellite observations with physical processes while keeping uncertainty visible in the analysis.
💬 If you work on glaciers, remote sensing, or research software, I'd be happy to exchange ideas. Questions, issues, and contributions are welcome in the project repositories.
