Interests

Kelvin's research interests lie in thunderstorm dynamics and predictability, variational data assimilation, mesoscale dynamics, computational fluid dynamics, massively parallel computing, and aviation weather.

In his 16 years at the University of Oklahoma, Kelvin has received numerous awards and has generated over $28 million in external research funding. For over a decade, he has been among the top 5 faculty at the University of Oklahoma in external research grant funding, averaging over $1.5 million per year. He has been an invited speaker at or organizer of several international conferences and symposia on meteorology, high-performance computing, and computational fluid dynamics in the U.S., England, Japan, Australia, Korea, and France. He has authored and co-authored 46 refereed journal articles and over 200 conference publications, and has graduated 24 students.

Kelvin's hobbies include history (especially during and following World War II), riding motorcycles, cooking, short wave radio, playing the drums, singing, and all aspects of aviation. He also loves all types of ethnic food.
