  • BS, Meteorology, University of Oklahoma

  • Cloud Physics

Jonathan is in the senior year of his undergraduate career at the University of Oklahoma. He works with Dr. Greg McFarquhar in the cloud physics group, and his current research focuses on how in-situ cloud measurements vary with respect to different conditions in a winter storms sampled during the NASA IMPACTS project. Jonathan aspires to continue his research during a career in graduate school, and he takes great interest in in-situ cloud measurements. He is also beginning a project to identify possible biases in cloud-physics datasets arising from the use of various measurement probes and processing algorithms. As someone with a lifelong interest in severe and unusual weather, he hopes that his research can uncover important information about how these storms evolve.
