Research

My research interests are in the areas of scientific computation and applications, including instrument modeling and calibration, passive infrared and microwave sounding, radiative transfer calculations, and parallel and distributed processing.

Recent work includes calibration analysis of CrIS, the Cross-track Infrared Sounder, a hyperspectral infrared sounder for the NPOESS next-generation weather satellite. This involves analyzing gas cell and laser calibration test data to verify the spectral calibration of the instrument, reading telemetry packets, processing these to produce observed spectra, modeling self-apodization and other optical and interferometric effects, and comparing observed and calculated spectra.

My CV includes a summary of recent publications and other work.
