Bio

I am interested in lots of different subjects related to climate, especially idealized modeling of the atmosphere and atmosphere-land system with single-column and limited-area models. A (non-exhaustive) list of my research interests is below.

1) Cold air formation in warmer climates

2) Self-aggregation of convection

3) Diurnal Cycle and Island Rainfall

4) Boundary Layer Sensitivity

5) Details about Radiative-Convective Equilibrium

6) Tropical Cyclones in odd environments

7) Hadley Circulation and Eddies
