Bob graduated with a B.S. in Meteorology from the University of Oklahoma in 2000. He is currently enrolled in his fourth and final year of a Dual-Masters degree program in Meteorology and Computer Science, also at the University of Oklahoma. His academic research deals with the plausibility of data assimilation techniques in hazardous weather detection and warning-decision support. Professionally, he is interested in using software engineering to advance the ability to process, visualize, and interrogate meteorological information.
