Hello! I am a Ph.D. candidate researching tropical cyclogenesis at Colorado State University. During my master’s in Seoul National University at South Korea, I researched TC risk in climatological perspective. My research interests are towards 1) better understanding the multi-scale thermodynamic and dynamics interactions in TC genesis and intensification and 2) improving forecasting of extreme weather impacts from TCs. Currently, I am analyzing a couple of genesis cases using radar data, reanalysis data, and numerical models. You can reach me through my email (C.Chelsea.Nam@colostate.edu)
