Dr. Sai Prasanth

I am currently a NASA Postdoctoral Program Fellow working with Dr. Ziad Haddad on understanding and predicting the behavior of tropical convective storms using a combination of model simulations, and observations from microwave radiometers, geostationary infrared, and space-borne radars. Prior to joining JPL, I was a post-doc at Stanford University and a NASA Earth Science (Doctoral) Fellow at Purdue University.
