About Me

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Atmospheric, Earth, and Energy Division. My research focuses on turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer applied to onshore and offshore wind energy, complex terrain, and urban flows.

Research Interests

  • Multiscale atmospheric modeling
  • Atmospheric boundary layer processes and turbulence
  • Flow over complex and urban terrain
  • Wind farm-atmosphere interactions
  • High-performance computing
