Sarah Balkissoon

School of Natural Resources

Dr. Balkissoon is currently taking a hiatus from the program to serve in her home country.  She is working as a postdoctoral fellow /Research Assistant contractor with the Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH).  Her research follows similar trajectories where she has undertaken the tasks of applying Machine Learning techniques to forecast wind speeds and applying Artificial Intelligence to climate problems in regions within the Caribbean. She is taking special interest in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) which are most vulnerable to climate change and thus need robust renewable energy systems.
