About Me
I am a research assistant professor in the Department of Geography at Portland State University.
My research is focused on hydrometeorology, clouds, atmospheric rivers, Western US climate and model evaluation.
My goals are to help Western US stakeholders and communities better manage water and energy resources in
current and future climates.
My collaborators and I are meeting these goals by improving predictions
and improving understanding of physical processes, including aerosols, clouds and atmospheric dynamics.
