Work Experience
University of Alabama in Huntsville Huntsville, Alabama Feb. 2018-present
Student Specialist II
• Assist in the design, construction, implementation and deployment of the surface based weather
station known as EMESH (Environmental Monitoring Economical Sensor Hubs).
EMESH is designed to be an inexpensive automated weather station that forms an observational network used to study the
atmosphere. Currently, there are 80 EMESH weather stations that are fully operational and were most recently used in the
National Science Foundation funded project GRAINEX (The Great Plains Irrigation Experiment) in Lincoln, Nebraska.
• Maintain and develop all meteorological instruments on EMESH to ensure accurate data collection in
the field including: soil moisture, soil temperature, environmental temperature, relative humidity, wind
speed, precipitation and wind direction sensors.
EMESH is owned by The University of Alabama in Huntsville and was created by Dr. Udaysanker Nair of The Department of
Atmospheric Science. It is maintained and operated by his research group of PhD, graduate and undergraduate students.

Student Researcher (temporary position)
• Recipient of the annual award for undergraduate research formally known as the RCEU program.
Funded through the University of Alabama in Huntsville and The Alabama Space Grant Consortium, the RCEU (Research or
Creative Experience For Undergrads) program aims to foster cooperation between students and researchers in a research
endeavor and to expose the student to academic scholarly work. The program lasts twelve weeks and includes
professional development seminars, and a required poster session of completed research at the end of the program.
• Research consisted of studying the impacts that urban geometry and land use have on outdoor
thermal comfort. Using academic literature review, field study tactics and meteorological analysis,
the research aimed to interpret heat stress indicators during the summer months in Huntsville,
Alabama.
