Welcome!

I’m a graduate student in the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences at the University at Albany, where I am working toward my Ph.D. under the advisement of Dr. Chris D. Thorncroft.


My research focuses on the mesoscale convective systems observed over Africa during the AMMA field program. I am examining the two-way interaction between convection and synoptic features within the West African monsoon. One focus is the role of easterly wave in initiating convection. Another focus is the impact of the convection on the genesis and life-cycle of African easterly waves.

 

For more information on my research see the C. V. and Master’s Research pages.

 

I also generate weather maps in real-time for the northern hemisphere tropics.

 

For questions on either feel free to send me an email.
