My Ph.D. dissertation, Mechanistic Understanding of Tropical Convective Organization and Propagation, focused on how tropical convective systems organize, propagate, and interact with cold pools, gravity waves, and the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO).
These days I am enjoying a more open-ended postdoc phase: still actively exploring, happily following promising physical clues, and letting a few “this looks interesting, let’s try it” moments become research directions.
Across both stages, my work uses Large Eddy Simulations/Cloud Resolving Models, Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Models, and Convection-Permitting Models to understand dynamic and thermodynamic cloud processes.
