Research Interests:
- Numerical Weather Prediction - the use of computers to predict and emulate weather, as well as the measurement of the predictability thereof.
- Micrometeorology - the study of atmospheric phenomena less than 1 km, such as small-scale turbulence.
- Tropical Cyclones/Hurricanes - my research focuses primarily on tropical cyclones that uniquely interact with the land surface.
- Air Quality - small changes to the composition of the atmosphere that are directly influential to human health.
- Atmospheric Dynamics - forces that govern atmospheric motion, and the equations that represent them.
