About Me

I am a professor of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science at Penn State University. I am also one of the world's leading experts on severe weather.

​

My research expertise includes severe weather, clouds and thunderstorms, tropical meteorology, and forecasting. 

 

I am well published and cited in peer-reviewed scientific journals (here's my C.V. and you can find me on Google scholar) and have received over $10 million in government and private sector funding to lead atmospheric research.

 

My career has also included forecasting for severe weather and air quality related field campaigns, forecasting weather related impacts for utilities and private companies, and consulting for the Department of Defense.

I live in Pennsylvania with my wife and two sons.  I am an avid runner, cyclist, and both in-bounds and backcountry skier.

My Consulting Practice

I founded my consulting practice because I am passionate about using scientific advancements to make the world a better place.

Having a strong connection to the scientific community as a professor and published researcher provides me with a unique advantage as an expert witness. This connection ensures that my analyses and testimonies are grounded in the latest scientific research and methodologies.

 

I also regularly collaborate and interact with a very large network of scientists, so that I am only an e-mail or phone call away from the world's leading experts on various meteorological phenomena.
