Jeremy uses theory and computers to study atmospheric boundary-layer flows, including turbulence modeling, land-surface modeling, parameterization of boundary-layer and surface-layer interactions, and multi-scale numerical weather prediction. He is currently working on projects to improve atmospheric models in the areas of scale-aware boundary-layer physics, heterogeneous boundary and surface layers, fire weather, tornado dynamics, and other storm-scale phenomena.
