Background
  • An atmospheric physicist with a background in physics and atmospheric science. He is a scientist for the Computing and Computational Sciences Directorate at ORNL. Leads high-resolution regional climate modeling and sub-seasonal to seasonal predictability research efforts at ORNL. Part of the team developing ORBIT: Oak Ridge-based foundation model for Earth system predictability. His expertise lies in using global and regional climate and hydrological models to understand the past, present, and future climate fluctuations resulting from natural and anthropogenic changes and their implications for natural and human systems.
