 I am an assistant professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences here at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I am member of the Center for Water as a Complex Environmental System (CWACES). I am the president of the Central Illinois Chapter of the American Meteorological Society.
Our research group's research interests include:
- the remote sensing of precipitation,
- cloud-scale to mesoscale dynamics and microphysics of precipitating cloud systems (including mesoscale convective systems and tropical cyclones),
- quantifying environmental and surface-atmosphere influences on storm structure and microphysics (including orographic precipitation)
I will have at least one opening for a research assistant in Fall 2009, and we have positions for a number of teaching assistants each fall. If you are interested in graduate study on the above topics, feel free to contact me or apply to our graduate program!
