General
editI am United States Naval Officer with a PhD in Environmental Chemistry. While the main focus of my research is in Atmospheric Chemistry, my day job is as a tropical cyclone forecaster and computational modeler. I enjoy studying mathematical constants, programming and parallel computing and chemistry in general. I make edits to pages regarding these interests, as well as others I find interesting. I think that Wikipedia is an incredibly valuable tool, and enjoy helping the community make it better.
My Studies
editI currently conduct research using the WRF modeling suite to predict volcanic ash plume development and transport in the atmosphere. I have parameterized the inclusion of sulfur dioxide conversion near the Upper Troposphere Lower Stratosphere (UTLS) and my doctoral thesis was on the inclusion of volcanic ash aggregation in this model. This research provides many advantageous results, mostly benefiting the aerospace industry and military.
Contact
editFeel free to drop me a comment on my talk page! If you find me making edits you don't agree with, let me know there as well. I don't watch every page that I edit, so a heads up on my talk page will catch my attention.
Thanks fellow Wikipedians!!!
