I am a Research Scientist with the Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies (CIMMS) at the University of Oklahoma. I am also affiliated with the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL).

My background is in Electrical Engineering, and I have over 10 years of experience in the field of weather radar signal processing. I am a member of the Doppler Radar and Remote Sensing Research group within the Radar Research and Development Division at NSSL where I work on:

• leading the implementation of traditional and advanced signal processing techniques for the National Weather Radar Testbed (NWRT) Phased-Array Radar (PAR),
• transferring these techniques to the operational network of weather surveillance Doppler radars (NEXRAD), and
• developing understandings of new signal processing techniques for improved spectral moment and polarimetric variable estimation.

SZ-2 is operational!

We have successfully developed an algorithm that mitigates a problem plaguing weather radars called the Doppler dilemma. The Doppler Dilemma identifies an inverse relationship between the unambiguous range and the unambiguous velocity: wind speed measurements are more accurate at closer distances and less accurate farther away. Proper censoring of this contaminated or invalid data is essential for the WSR-88D to be useful for forecasters and automated algorithms.

My profile on the AME's Bulletin

I was interviewed by Fernando Aguado of the Asociación Meteorológica Española (Spanish Meteorological Society). It was very exciting to see my profile featured on their quarterly bulletin that was published on April of 2007. Unfortunately, this article is only available in Spanish.
