Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrandon Kerns is a Research Scientist Engineer with a decade of experience applying tropical meteorology and satellite/air-sea observational methods to problems in heavy rainfall, hurricanes, and the Madden–Julian Oscillation. Based at the University of Washington, he builds and maintains HPC analysis code, GIS-enabled databases, and AWS-hosted web apps to support multi-platform air-sea flux datasets and real-time coupled model simulations for large field campaigns. His work blends hands-on software engineering for collaborative GitHub projects with rigorous atmospheric science, translating user needs into production tools used by 20+ scientists and over 100 campaign participants. A former postdoc at the University of Miami, he uniquely pairs expertise in in-situ and satellite data fusion with operational modeling of air–sea interaction, and is stewarding legacy field campaign data (DYNAMO) into accessible interfaces for future research.
