Summary
My name is
, and I am a
Lecturer in Atmospheric Science in the
Department of Geological Sciences
at Indiana University.
I have taught courses in atmospheric fluid dynamics, severe weather, and introductory
weather and climate, among others.
As part of my Lecturer appointment, I have become much more interested in science pedagogy and in active learning techniques. The phrase "flipped classroom" is very jargony, but carries with it important meaning for how we construct our classrooms and what we must expect of our students. I hope to work much more in this area in the future.
I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, working with Dr. Bill McCaul and Dr. Kevin Knupp on understanding the behavior of convective storms. Analzying a large set of (200+) numerical simulations, we studied how storm behavior is influenced by background environmental conditions.
Present research and interests
Morphology and dynamics of simulated deep, moist convection Climatology of high-impact weather phenomena Numerical weather prediction (NWP) and its use in operational forecasting
