¡Bienvenidos! 

My group studies tropical systems across convective to synoptic scales using a multiscale and process-based approach. My research focuses on identifying and analyzing the physical processes involved in the evolution of mesoscale convective systems, easterly waves, and the genesis of tropical cyclones. I have also examined the weather and climate of Africa and their relationship to tropical variability in the Atlantic.

 I am particularly interested in how convective processes and moisture contribute to the genesis of tropical cyclone seeds and how these interactions will evolve in a changing climate. To pursue these scientific questions, I use both weather and climate models, as well as observations.
