RESEARCH

Interests

I use numerical models to study land-atmosphere interactions. I am particularly interested in studying the impacts of spatial and temporal heterogeneity in landcover on the atmosphere over large-eddy to regional scales. In this context, I investigate idealized problems as well as realistic scenarios with policy implications.
I am also involved in developing components of the RAMS model.
