Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShawn Murdzek is an atmospheric scientist and research scientist at CIRES/NOAA in Boulder who leverages a decade of experience in high-resolution numerical modeling and data assimilation to improve short-range regional weather forecasts. With a Penn State Ph.D. and hands-on work from VORTEX2 field campaigns to OSSEs for uncrewed aircraft observations, he blends observational insight with Fortran- and Python-based model development on HPC/Linux systems. His research spans tornadogenesis and convective storm microphysics to novel assimilation of drone data, translating sparse new observations into tangible forecast improvements. Comfortable communicating science through papers and presentations, he pairs rigorous academic training with practical implementation in operational forecast systems. An underappreciated strength is his repeated role bridging field campaigns and model-based experiments, giving him a rare end-to-end perspective on both data collection and model assimilation.
