Professional Interests

If it is mesoscale and it rotates, I am interested in it. This includes hurricanes, but also mesoscale convective systems with rotation. I am especially intruiged by the interplay between high frequency convective motions and low frequency rotational structures. I also am interested in how models simulate these behaviors. Moreover, I am pursuing new ways to evaluate mesoscale models for a variety of problems.
