Ph.D. Alum
Department of Applied Mathematics
Ph.D. in Applied Math (2024), B.S. Applied Math University of Colorado Boulder. Rachel built and extended a virtual lidar simulator for WRF-LES (Robey and Lundquist 2022) to better understand flow over complex terrain, focusing on data from the Perdigão 2017 field campaign (Robey and Lundquist 2024). She is also developing and testing new optimal grids for resolving ocean boundary layers. Her research is supported by the DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellowship. She joined the group after working with ocean surface boundary layers during a post-bac appointment at Los Alamos National Lab (LANL). In her free time, she enjoys climbing, whitewater kayaking, and adventuring in the mountains.
