The work is theoretical but with many applications and often involves data analysis and processing on a computer. The research is supported mostly by the National Science Foundation. Graduate research support is often available. This work requires understanding of scattering of electromagnetic waves by particles as well as background in random processes.
Computational skills are important.
During the 98-99 academic year took sabbatical leave at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD as a Fellow of the Laboratory for Atmospheres.
