Research Interests
My research includes regional and local climate change along the Chilean Andes, initialization of mesoscale convective systems across Eastern Colorado, mesoscale snowband formation over the Midwest, and high-impact strong tornado events along the High Plains.
Teaching Interests
MSU Denver students come from many different academic and socio-economic backgrounds, which demand various pedagogical approaches to prepare them for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) degrees. My educational philosophy is grounded into various pedagogical approaches aimed at empowering students to develop an effective analytical mindset, while becoming critical thinkers capable of finding solutions to challenging issues in Meteorology.
