| Biosketch: | I completed my Masters work under Dr. Graeme Stephens and am currently working with Dr. van den Heever on my PhD work. I grew up in NC, NY, and in the UK. I currently spend my time in the Colorado mountains hiking in the summer and snowboarding in the winter. I also enjoy mountain biking, driving my Subaru, camping, and spending time at Colorado breweries. I'm interested in clouds and the processes that control clouds. I try to use my physics background to guide my research and my meteorology background to provide intuition. |
