Lead and support research and commercialization efforts associated with the National Wind Institute's research agenda:- Lead and support the development, advancement and deployment of TTU's research radar assets including the pair of mobile Ka-band and portable X-band systems for atmospheric, wind engineering and wind energy applications- Coordinate and participate in measurement campaigns to collect single- and dual-Doppler radar measurements relevant to wind energy applications (wind plant complex flows, turbine wakes, wind plant wakes, atmospheric stability impacts, etc.) using various research radars- Develop custom software applications and tools to process and visualize single- and dual-Doppler radar measurements- Develop, maintain and update the systems as software for the StickNet rapidly deploy-able network of 48 weather stations as well as supporting infrastructure- Lead and participate in field deployments of NWI facilities (e.g. Ka-band mobile radars, StickNet) for landfalling hurricanes and severe thunderstorm related projects- Develop, maintain and update the data acquisition software driving the Texas Tech 200-m instrumented tower and provide operational support and troubleshooting for the instrumentation suite- Perform software/product development for the West Texas Mesonet and provide daily operational support to the network- Lead and/or collaborate in proposal, IP disclosure and peer-reviewed publication development, submission and review- Coordinate with industry partners sponsoring and/or collaborating on research projects- Present research findings at academic and industry conferences and meetings- Serve on graduate student Thesis/Dissertation committees

Assisted in day-to-day operations and data dissemination for the WISE research facilities, including the West Texas Mesonet. Participated in multiple field data collection compaigns related to severe convective storms and hurricanes. Developed data acquisition software for the Texas Tech StickNet platforms; a rapidly deployed surface observation network.

SmartWind Technologies is a technology development and service company focused on providing hardware and software solutions to measure and analyze the complex wind flows in the lower atmosphere, including wind energy applications such as wind plant optimization. SmartWind was created as a result of the commercialization of intellectual property developed by the founding members at Texas Tech University, and exclusively licensed to the founding members for commercial application. SmartWind Technologies specializes in the development of custom Doppler radar technologies and associated data collection and analysis techniques to address the needs of various lower atmospheric complex flows interests.
