I use mathematical models to simulate atmospheric flow. The dynamics and the thermodynamics of the atmosphere can be described by a set of partial differential equations. These are too complex to be solved analytically with pen and paper. So, we use high-performance computers to solve them numerically.

I specialize in land-atmosphere interactions. The problems that I have looked at include the impact of theoretical surface heterogeneity as well as real cases like deforestaion in Amazonia and Congo, and historical landcover change in the U.S., on regional climate. Recently I published a paper on possible impacts of large wind farms on local meteorology.
