Matt is entering his second year of graduate school at the University of Oklahoma School of Meteorology, where he is working as a graduate research assistant with the BLISS group. Matt is also worked with BLISS as un undergraduate student. His research is focused on using the Warn-on-Forcast System to explore how assimilating high-resolution observations from the atmospheric boundary layer into convective allowing models can improve their ability to properly model convective processes. Matt has always been thoroughly fascinated by the atmosphere, which inspires the pursuit of his lifelong goal of improving forecasts of severe weather and tornadoes.
