	Shuyi S. Chen, Professor Visit my website, view my CV (pdf), or email me. My research focuses on the dynamics and air-sea interactions in tropical convection, tropical cyclones/hurricanes, and intraseasonal oscillations.
	Brandon Kerns, Assistant Scientist Visit my website, view my CV (pdf), or email me. Brandon's research focuses on tropical cyclone genesis and Madden-Julian Oscillation initiation. Another topic of research is tracking convective weather systems from mesoscale up to MJO scale.
	Falko Judt, Postdoctoral Associate Visit my website, view my CV (pdf), or email me. Broadly, I am interested in better understanding the tropical atmosphere and its predictability. More specifically, I use high-resolution model ensembles and aircraft observations to study tropical cyclones, the predictability of their intensity, and multiscale processes associated with the Madden-Julian Oscillation.
	Milan Curcic, Postdoctoral Associate Visit my website or email me. I study the interaction of wind, waves, and currents using high-resolution coupled models in realistic applications. More specifically, I am interested in surface wave dynamics, Lagrangian transport, Earth system model development, software design, and high performance computing.
	Ajda Savarin, PhD Student Visit my website or email me. My research interest is in high resolution coupled modeling of the Madden Julian Oscillation with a focus on its passage over the maritime continent.
	Andrew Smith, PhD Student email me. My research interest is in the impact of the ocean on high resolution coupled model prediction of Atlantic Hurricanes Katrina and Ophelia.
	Kuan-Jen "Tank" Lin, PhD Student Visiting from National Central University, Taiwan email me. My research is on using ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) to improve tropical cyclone initialization and forecasts.
	Nick Guy, Research Meteorologist email me. My research is on radar and satellite data synthesis.
	Edward H. Ryan, Senior Research Associate Visit my website or email me. I provide realtime data processing and analysis support for CARTHE and various other projects.
