Research Interests
My research focuses on investigating urban climates and land-atmosphere interactions by means of numerical modeling (WRF). Currently exploring the dynamical interaction between the Urban Heat Island induced circulation with the local thermo-topographical wind circulation in the Greater Phoenix Metro Area (USA).
