Hi, I'm Jasmine.
I study precipitation using radar, disdrometer, gauge, and remote sensing observations, with a current focus on improving rainfall retrievals across different rain regimes.
My work has brought me into field campaigns, instrument setup, data analysis, and poster presentations. I am especially interested in precipitation physics, radar meteorology, remote sensing, and practical ways to connect observations with better rainfall estimates.
Research
My research centers on precipitation measurement, remote sensing, and rainfall retrieval, especially how radar and surface observations can be used together across different rain types.

Student Researcher
Conducting precipitation research using MRR-Pro, Parsivel disdrometer, and gauge data through NASA IPMSI and NSF-supported work.
McNair Day Poster Session Presenter
Presented the same rain-rate machine learning and drop size distribution research from AMS 2026 and was recognized for valuable research contributions.
National Weather Service Volunteer
Volunteered at the NWS, helped release a weather balloon, and shadowed a lead forecaster for the day. That visit led to a planned Summer 2026 collaboration on a machine learning project.
