Research Interests

My research interests fall under cloud processes, with an emphasis on convective clouds. I make extensive use of observations from the ARM fixed sites and AMF deployments for the development of appropriate data collection and retrieval techniques, data analysis, and modeling to improve understanding of deep convective dynamics, organization, and the relationship with the larger-scale environment.

Professional Experience

I have been an active user of ARM observational data sets for over a decade. I regularly use ARM radar data sets as part of ongoing Atmospheric System Research work. Recent collaborative research activities have applied retrievals of convective vertical velocities from the GoAmazon2014/15 campaign towards process understanding of boundary-layer aerosol budget and aerosol-convection interactions. As a current ARM Translator, I have experience developing ARM value-added products and supporting new instrumentation and activities.
