I hold an adjunct faculty appointment in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Oklahoma. As such, I'm involved in co-advising and mentoring graduate students. Also, I usually teach a small part of Dr. Robert Palmer's Weather Radar Theory and Practice course.
The new radar meteorology cross-disciplinary curriculum provides students with a unique and comprehensive experience in weather radar and meteorological instrumentation. More information about Weather Radar Education at the University of Oklahoma can be found in this recent article that appeared in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society in October of 2009.
It is exciting to see that Norman has become a wonderful place for aspiring weather radar engineers!
We recently received a second award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for our research project "Understanding the Relationship Between Tornadoes and Debris Through Observed and Simulated Radar Data."
This fall, I had the honor and privilege to teach an OLLI class with my friend and colleague Jami Boettcher. "NEXRAD Weather Radar: How it Works and What Those Images Tell Us" kept us busy for 5 weeks this fall.
Our paper "Bootstrap Dual-Polarimetric Spectral Density Estimator" made the cover of the April 2017 issue of the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing journal.
I have accepted to serve as an associate editor for the American Meteorological Society’s Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology.
I have been chosen as the winner of the 2016 OU College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences Dean’s Award for Outstanding Service.
