I am a professor in the School of Meterology (SOM) at the University of Oklahoma (OU). Currently, I am interested in radar polarimetry and interferometry for weather quantification and forecasting. Prior to joining SOM, I worked as a scientist in the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). My research interests there included the modeling of wave propagation and scattering in geophsycial media and the development of remote sensing techniques for environmental monitoring.

Current Research Interests
Wave propagation and scattering in geophysical media
Remote sensing for understanding and quantifying weather and earth environment
Radar polarimetry for quantitative precipitation estimation and forecast
Phased array radar interferometry to measure wind, shear, and turbulence
Formulation, design and calibration of polarimetric phased array radar for multi-missions
Cloud/precipitation microphysics and parameterization
