  1. Personal Statement

 

Optimizing radio wave propagation for terrestrial and satellite communications is my area of expertise as an atmospheric physicist and radio communication specialist. Climate, atmospheric weather, and ocean dynamics that impact radio wave propagation and environment are also my areas of expertise. Through historical analysis and climate change prediction employing cutting-edge research methods, like machine learning and generative artificial intelligence, my ultimate professional goal is to offer scientific answers to radio signal impairments brought on by atmospheric conditions.
