WORK EXPERIENCE:
Project Scientist; Research Applications Program, National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)

Investigating methods for verifying spatial forecasts (e.g., quantitative precipitation forecasts).
Investigating environments conducive to extreme weather using glabal reanalysis and climate data.
Spatial extension and maintenance of the extRemes package.

Associate Scientist; Research Applications Program, National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)

Investigating methods for verifying precipitation forecasts given as binary images.
Investigating some network design issues for ceiling and visibility forecast verification.
Developing the extRemes package in the R statistical programming language.

Graduate RA; National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR): Geophysical Statistics Project (GSP)

Ported the Design Interface (DI) software from UNIX to PC and created GUI dialogs for the major functions.

Helped port the fields package from S-Plus to R.

Helped write an online manual for fields-a suite of S-Plus functions for spatial statistics.

Helped write the RadioSonde package; functions for handling radiosonde data in R, and for plotting skew-T and Wind Profiles.

TOGA-COARE radio sonde data obtained during the Intensive Operating Period (IOP) (See Wang et al.).
