My primary research interests lie with understanding the influence of environmental variability on the evolution and severe weather production of severe convective storms. More specifically, I’m interested in projects relating to:
- Maintenance of supercells and mesoscale convective systems
- Numerical modeling of severe storms
- Storm interaction with complex terrain
- Impact of heterogeneous environments (temporally or spatially varying) on storm evolution
