Robert Lowry Chair Professor
Director, Multi-University Consortium for Advanced Data Assimilation Research and Education (CADRE)
Ph.D., Meteorology, The Pennsylvania State University, 2004
Research Interests
Developing new techniques and novel methodologies for data assimilation and ensemble prediction
Applying these techniques for global, hurricane and convective scale severe weather modeling and prediction systems assimilating a variety of observations (radar, satellite, ground-based remote sensing platforms, aircraft-borne observations, in-situ, etc.) to improve numerical prediction skill
Improving the understanding of atmospheric predictability and dynamics through data assimilation and ensemble approaches for global, to hurricane and storm scales
Interfacing between basic research and US National Weather Service operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) or say transitioning research into operations (R2O)
Interdisciplinary research: data mining and machine learning; economic values of numerical predictions
