Graduate Research Assistant (April 2005 - present)
Stanford University, Stanford, CA
PI: Mark Z. Jacobson
- Implementation of an aerodynamic model into a global atmospheric model for use in
investigating the feedback between large wind farms and the local meteorology

PI: Robert M. Haberle
- Worked on developing a state-of-the-art evaporation model to be used for investigating potential sites for melting on Mars
- Worked with the regolith model used in the Mars General Circulation Model to investigate melting
in the martian subsurface
