... He is currently a technical advisor to National Earth System Prediction Capability and the National Unified O ­ perational Prediction Capability, two multi-agency programs focused on improving operational ­ umerical weather and climate prediction through multi-agency col n laboration. His current research is on developing automated forecast verification techniques for mesoscale numerical weather prediction and developing parameter optimization techniques for numerical modeling.
