Welcome to my website!. 

I'm a researcher working in the areas of micrometeorology, planetary boundary layer and Laser Remote Sensing. I teach students about Physics of the PBL, Micrometeorology of complex environments, Microclimates, Laser Remote Sensing and Cloud Physics. Also, recruiting graduate and undergraduate students to work with me in very exciting scientific projects and research is one of my key functions in the UAF department of atmospheric sciences.
