I am an associate professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Cornell University. I work on various aspects of atmospheric dynamics and predictability, with a focus on the stratosphere and its interactions with other parts of the climate system.
See the group page for more information if you are interested in joining our group.
Some recent projects and topics of interest to me are described below. Click on the card to learn more.
Polar Vortex Animations
The stratospheric polar vortices are beautiful examples of geophysical flows.
Polar Vortex Variability
I developed a low-order dynamical system that, while highly simplified, captures some of the essence of the variability of the polar vortices.
S2S Prediction
The stratosphere provides some valuable predictive information on timescales of weeks to months. I am interested in understanding how to make use of this.
QBO Secondary Circulation
The meridional circulation associated with the QBO is tightly coupled to tropical stratospheric ozone.
