Research Work

My current research work is focusing on idealized simulations of supercell thunderstorms within the Advanced Research and Prediction System (ARPS) in order to target the mechanisms of tornadogenesis and sources of near ground vorticity intensification in these storms. I am also participating in the VORTEX II project occurring in spring 2009 and 2010

I have done previous work within the National Severe Storms Laboratory with Dr. David Stensrud and Dr. Michael Coniglio analyzing the environmental changes associated with the passage of mesoscale convective systems over the Great Plains region through the Oklahoma Mesonet

During my junior and senior years of my undergraduate career at Ohio University, I worked with WRF-ARW model, working alongside a fellow student, and was able to establish daily operational WRF model runs for student forecast and research purposes.
