Curriculum Vitae

Research Interests

• Global atmospheric model development with an emphasis on the representation of atmospheric convection, clouds, and boundary layer turbulence
• Tropical cyclones and large-scale environmental connections
• High-impact weather and extremes under present-day and changing environmental conditions
• Convection, clouds, and cloud feedbacks on the large-scale environment
• Studies of atmospheric convection, clouds, and climate using model hierarchies with varying levels of complexity
• Earth system science and modeling with an emphasis on process interactions, including ocean-atmosphere coupling, aerosols-cloud-radiation-circulation interactions, and land-surface-vegetation-hydrology-atmosphere interactions
