My primary area of interest is the development and transition of meteorological observations and research, particularly involving remote sensing, into the operational weather forecasting environment. I am currently developing NWS requirements and a mission concept for the next generation of geostationary and polar weather satellites under the G eo XO and NEON programs. I also lead a team of government contractors conducting meteorological research, user engagement, and software development for operational users. I have previously developed atmospheric science software applications and stakeholder communications related to weather satellites.
