I'm an ASP Postdoctoral Fellow with the Mesoscale & Microscale Meteorology Laboratory at NCAR in Boulder, CO.
My research is multidisciplinary and centered around societal-impact modeling for the weather enterprise. For example, my primary area of work uses agent-based models to explore the impacts of hurricane forecasts on evacuation decision-making and traffic. I also develop modeling techniques for improving predictions of extreme wind gusts. Related to this, I'm a Community Scientist with the Thriving Earth Exchange where I collaborate with community and government organizations in Austin, TX to determine the ideal placement of particulate matter sensors to monitor health impacts of concrete batch plants on underserved communities. Unrelated to meteorology, I have also used neural networks to study the NBA home advantage phenomenon.
Before working towards a PhD, I worked at the Warning Decision Training Division (WDTD) in Norman, OK, and served as the Associate Director of Operations at Innovative Weather. I have a Ph.D. and an M.S. in Atmospheric Science from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a B.S. in Meteorology from the University of Oklahoma.
