Current Project:

Using convection-permitting ensemble simulations in a past and future climate under different emission scenarios to investigate how the nature of severe convection may be impacted by climate change

 Past Projects

 Colorado Hydrology with SnowModel

My Master's Thesis Work

I used SnowModel to look at how specific snow processes may change in a future climate and the impact that this may have on hydrologic resources in Colorado and the western U.S.

 California Atmospheric Rivers

REU Summer Work

With the mentorship of Dr. Kristen Rasmussen and Dr. Erin Dougherty, I looked at atmospheric river events in California and how these events may change in a warmer climate

 Other Research Projects I Have Participated In

 BACS Campaign

As a part of the BioAerosols and Convective Storms (BACS) campaign, I flew drones and launched weather balloons to investigate the role convective cold pools play in distributing bioaerosols

 Wine To Water

Wine To Water is a non profit organization that has a mission of providing clean water to all. As a part of this, I traveled to Costa Rica to study the hydrometeorology of the region and surveyed the locals to understand the perceived water security in the area we visited

 Directed Studies Research in Atmospheric Sciences 

The main goal of this small directed studies group was to make sure that the school's mesonet station was in working condition but we also did studies testing the performance of different combinations of radiosondes, software, and antennas
