I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Miami with a joint appointment between the Department of Atmospheric Sciences and the Frost Institute for Data Science and Computing (IDSC).

My research uses data science methods to better understand tropical cyclones, with the overarching goal of providing tools that can be used to improve their prediction.

I am currently seeking two PhD students to join my research group! The students will be fully supported financially (e.g., research stipend provided, tuition covered, health insurance provided, etc.). Please contact me at mike.fischer@miami.edu if you're interested in learning more or applying!
