Welcome

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences at the University at Albany, under the advisement of Drs. Brian Tang and Kristen Corbosiero. My current research focuses on how upper-tropospheric troughs affect TC intensity change, particularly rapid intensification. Feel free to contact me with any comments or questions you may have!

Research

I am interested in how tropical cyclone intensity change is related to the environmental and convective characteristics of the storm.

Maps

I create realtime plots of forecasts from the Global Forecast System (GFS) and the High Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) for tropical and severe weather, as well as WxChallenge domains.
