My research revolves around increasing the number and quality of observations in the atmospheric boundary layer through innovative sensing techniques. I work to both improve existing techniques as well as develop new methods for probing the lower atmosphere. Currently, I am working to characterize and improve physics-based thermodynamic retrievals for instruments that are part of the Collaborative Lower Atmospheric Mobile Profiling System (CLAMPS).

Additionally, I am actively pursuing my PhD in collaboration with the OU Center for Autonomous Sensing and Sampling. I have assisted in the development and characterization of a weather-sensing uncrewed aerial system (WxUAS) for probing the boundary layer. The ultimate goal is to deploy lower atmospheric observing systems into a national network. Finding the optimal configuration for such a network is an active area of research at CIMMS. Observations from both WxUAS and ground-based remote sensors such as those in CLAMPS will be critically important to advance our understanding of the atmosphere and ultimately to improve weather and climate forecasts.
