• Researching the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and applications to S2S forecasting in hybrid/ML and dynamical climate models
• Processing, analyzing high-dimensional meteorological datasets using Python (Xarray, Numpy, Metpy)

• Researched synoptic set-ups for winter storms and created climatology for the RNK region from 30 years of data
• Completed NWS training, shadowing, and launched weather balloons

• Led summer research project and presented results to NWS staff (Heavy rainfall environments in the Mid-Atlantic)
• Shadowed forecasting shifts and contributed to technical public forecast discussions
• Assisted with balloon launches and preformed quality checks of upper-air data during a high-pressure unfolding severe weather event

Project

• Analyzed meteorological data in Excel, visualized flash flood density from 529 local storm reports using ArcGIS, and plotted thresholds in python
