Hi, I’m Jason, a Ph.D. student at Penn State’s Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science. I work with Dr. Ken Davis and Dr. Ying Pan, conducting research under the Baltimore Social-Environmental Collaborative (BSEC) IFL and Coast-Urban-Rural Atmospheric Gradient Experiment (CoURAGE). I have also previously conducted research with The Indianapolis Flux Experiment (INFLUX) and the Susquehanna Shale Hills Critical Zone Observatory. My current research focuses are urban micrometeorology, surface layer turbulence, large-eddy simulations, microclimate modeling, biometeorology, and urban ecology.
I started my academic journey in the biological sciences by receiving an associate’s and bachelor’s degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Resource Management from Hocking College and West Virginia University. After completing my bachelor’s degree, I received a master’s in Environmental Soil and Water Sciences. During this time, I began transitioning into the physical sciences. As a graduate student at WVU, I worked with Dr. Jason Hubbart in the Interdisciplinary Hydrology Lab. My thesis research investigated the relationship between land use and stream water temperature. Now working with Ken Davis and Ying Pan, I continue to integrate my knowledge of ecology, hydrology, and soils into our ongoing urban climate research to better understand and model urban system. Additionally, I am interested in the impacts of structural heterogeneity on turbulent flows in the atmospheric surface layer, specifically in areas with a wide range of roughness elements such as the urban environment.
If you would like to know more about my work or are interested in collaboration, please get in touch with me at …
