Parag is working as a Research Associate in the Cloud Processes group at Brookhaven National Lab. He is also serving as a member of the modeling team for the Southwest Urban Corridor Integrated Field Laboratory (SW-IFL). His interest lies in Weather Research and Forecasting, Turbulence Modeling, Environmental Fluid Dynamics, and Wildfire Modeling. With a background in understanding the role of roughness surface heterogeneity on the atmospheric surface layer response and dispersion modeling in urban arrangement, Parag is working towards using the field observations of prognostic variables as feedback to develop next-gen models for weather research. Currently, he is also exploring the role of boundary layer stratification on the firebrand dynamics and landing distribution to quantify the risk of secondary fires.
