My research seeks to understand aspects of Earth’s hydrometeorological and hydroclimate system (i.e. cloud systems, thunderstorms, hurricanes, precipitation) using advanced satellites, experimental aircraft, radars, and sophisticated computer models. I also explore the physical, human, and socio-economic aspects of extreme weather and global climate change. I am also interested in innovative strategies to infuse research data into applications, outreach, and instructional communities.
Urbanization and the Weather-Hydroclimate System: The overarching goal is to characterize possible urban-related (land cover, anthropogenic heating, and pollution) influences on spatio-temporal variability in the hydroclimate and to pose sound physical explanations for such interactions using in-situ and remote sensing data and numerical models.
Tropical Precipitating Systems: The overarching research goal is to characterize and quantify precipitation within tropical precipitating systems.
Extreme Weather and Climate Events: The goal of this research is to examine the relationship between extreme climate events and extreme manifestations of weather.
Climate Vulnerability: The goal of this research is to quantify current and future vulnerability of human populations, particularly under-represented groups, to long-term and episodic climate change events.
Innovative Applications of Physical Geographic and Climate Data: This track encompasses a wide variety of research interests related to integrating weather and climate data/analysis into decision support systems and societal applications.
Diversity in the Atmospheric Sciences: Numerous activities are developing innovative strategies for broadening the exposure of under-represented groups to atmospheric science.

Urbanization and the Weather-Hydroclimate System: The overarching goal is to characterize possible urban-related (land cover, anthropogenic heating, and pollution) influences on spatio-temporal variability in the hydroclimate and to pose sound physical explanations for such interactions using in-situ and remote sensing data and numerical models.
Tropical Precipitating Systems: The overarching research goal is to characterize and quantify precipitation within tropical precipitating systems.
Extreme Weather and Climate Events: The goal of this research is to examine the relationship between extreme climate events and extreme manifestations of weather.
Climate Vulnerability: The goal of this research is to quantify current and future vulnerability of human populations, particularly under-represented groups, to long-term and episodic climate change events.
Innovative Applications of Physical Geographic and Climate Data: This track encompasses a wide variety of research interests related to integrating weather and climate data/analysis into decision support systems and societal applications.
Diversity in the Atmospheric Sciences: Numerous activities are developing innovative strategies for broadening the exposure of under-represented groups to atmospheric science.
