Three things you need to know about me: #1. I have been interested in the weather ever since I was a teenager. High winds, big waves, deep snow - the more extreme the better. My favorite temperature is -20oC. #2. I'm also a total geek. I built my first computer when I was 14 (that's 36 years ago). Classic 50's science fiction is my jam. Math is my language. And #3. I practice martial arts, especially Olympic-style tae kwon do. I don't compete any more, but I still love to learn new skills.
So about my research - you can see all of that in the links below. I love the atmospheric sciences, and I have always been interested in how the weather we experience tells us about the changing climate. And I want my work to be more useful than just publishing another paper. How can my knowledge make people's lives better, safer, more sustainable? That is what motivates my research questions.
