Rachel is a Research Scientist in the Storm-scale Convection and Radar group in WRDD. Her research interests involve combining observations and radar data to better understand severe storm dynamics and hazards. Some of Rachel's current research utilizes data collected from multiple years of Southeast field campaigns to better understand environmental characteristics of tornado events. She has also used radar and in situ data from the Plains Elevated Convection at Night (PECAN) field campaign along with WRF simulations to better understand nocturnal mesoscale convective system (MCS) dynamics and severe wind production.
