 Current research area:

Tropical Dynamics: in particular I'm interested in understand how convection
works over tropical oceans. From September 1 to October 15, 2001. I was
involved in the field phase of EPIC._{Off-Site-Link} This project was designed to study the
east Pacific intertropical convergence zone, the associated cross-equatorial
inflow, and the east Pacific warm pool.  In the field, my major responsibilities
were onboard of the  NOAA WP3-43  research aircraft. Currently I'm analyzing
 radar data collected with the X-band Doppler radar mounted on the tail of this
aircraft-- EPIC research .
