I study tropical atmospheric dynamics, convectively coupled equatorial waves, tropical precipitation variability, and the representation of these processes in climate models. I also work on reproducible meteorological workflows and machine learning applications for precipitation analysis.

Current focus

Research

Convectively coupled equatorial waves

Diagnosing Kelvin waves, MRG waves, and wave-convection coupling from satellite, reanalysis, and model data.

Tropical precipitation variability

Understanding how large-scale dynamics organize precipitation over tropical oceans across multiple time scales.

Climate model and machine learning workflows

Evaluating CMIP6 simulations and developing data-driven tools for meteorological analysis and nowcasting.
