I am an ASP post doc working with Chris Davis of MMM and David Gochis of RAL. My research interests are rooted in the field of tropical meteorology. Currently, I am dividing my time between two main projects: 1) the inner core structure of tropical cyclones and how it relates to intensity change in high resolution WRF simulations, and 2) the contribution of eastern North Pacific tropical cyclones to the rainfall climatology of the southwest United States.
