Hey, I’m Nilou!

I am a PhD candidate at Northwestern University studying paleoclimate. I use isotopes to study Earth’s past history.

I’m interested in using data to tell a story about the world around us. Using my knowledge of climate science, data science, and data visualization I hope to help adapt our world to a changing climate. Additionally, I’m intrigued by our journey towards renewables and the feasibility of carbon capture.

I invite you to explore my website and get to know me and my interests. If you would like to learn more about my work, please get in touch (niloulsarvian@gmail.com)! You can also follow me on twitter (@niloulsarvian) for more updates about my research.
