About Me

I am currently a postdoctoral associate at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) Hurricane Research Division (HRD) and University of Miami/CIMAS. My research focuses on the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) and its critical role in land-atmosphere interactions, air-sea interaction, severe storms, and tropical cyclones.

My expertise lies in airborne and ground-based atmospheric observations, utilizing crewed and uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) to study turbulence, flux exchanges, and storm inflow environments. I specialize in processing and analyzing airborne in-situ data, dual-Doppler radar, and lidar measurements to examine how the ABL evolves under extreme weather conditions. My work has contributed to multiple large-scale field campaigns, including NOAA’s Hurricane Field Program and multi-platform storm observation projects (PECAN, VORTEX-USA/VORTEX-SE, TOURS, and CHEESEHEAD), helping to better understand severe storms and hurricanes.

At NOAA/AOML/HRD, my current research focuses on applying emerging technology to hurricane observation and analyzing high-resolution aircraft data to improve turbulence characterization in hurricanes, evaluating the impact of emerging UAS-based measurements, and identifying ways to enhance hurricane boundary layer parameterization. My investigations into scale-dependent turbulence and air-sea interaction exchange coefficients aim to bridge the gap between observational meteorology and numerical weather prediction.
