Boulder, Colorado

I am working in the Climate and Global Dynamics laboratory to develop a new mountain wave drag parameterization. Broadly, I have interests in both mesoscale and global dynamics and am working toward a career of understanding how mesoscale phenomena actually work and incorporating this knowledge into general circulation models. I am also interested in.

New Haven, CT

Working with Professor Ronald Smith in the Geology and Geophysics department at Yale University. I participated in the DEEP propagating gravity WAVE experiment over New Zealand (DEEPWAVE-NZ) field project over the 2014 austral winter. My current research is focused on the 3-D propagation and attenuation of gravity waves generated in the New Zealand region..

Mesa Laboratory, NCAR

Worked with Davide Del Vento to test and document scaling of the Weather Research and Forecasting model on the new petascale Yellowstone supercomputer at the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center. I scaled a large workload simulating Hurricane Katrina at 1-km resolution from 512 up to 64K cores. Effects of varied domain decomposition aspect ratios on model.

Laramie, WY

Graduated with a MS in Atmospheric Science from the University of Wyoming in May of 2013, with a GPA of 4.0/4.0. Studied dynamics of the marine atmospheric boundary layer off the coast of southern California. I participated in a field project using the University of Wyoming King Air NSF facility as part of the PREcision Atmospheric Marine Boundary Layer.

Boulder, CO

I worked in the Computational Information Systems Laboratory (CISL) at NCAR as a summer Siparcs intern. My project was to see if/how much the NCAR Command Language (NCL) could benefit from from parallelization on a graphics processing unit. Simple operators, matrix multiplication, averaging functions, and a polygon function were parallelized on a GPU..

Grand Forks, North

Work for the Atmospheric Science Department at UND. Perform quality assurance and data from research projects from Saudi Arabia, Mali, and North Dakota. I am currently working on a poster for the fall AGU meeting.Program using IDL, C, and Python programming languages. I also use bash, csh, and perl scripting languages. I am a developer in sourceforge.net.

I was an intern participating in the Polarimetric Cloud Analysis and Seeding Test 2 (POLCAST2). I assisted with data post processing via IDL and scripting programming languages. I also assisted with determining when to to launch the aircraft based on forecasts and satellite imagery.http://atmoswiki.aero.und.edu/atmos/citation/field/northdakota

I participated in the Student Airborne Research Program (SARP) that was organized by the National Suborbital Education and Research Center (NSERC) and funded by NASA. I learned about airborne science projects and flew in NASA's DC-8 flying laboratory. I used multi-spectral remote sensing data to calculate the Crop Water Stress.

Helped with everything from transporting grain from the field to the trucks to taking care of livestock.

I installed appliances and Dish Network systems and did whatever needed.
