I am an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor at the University of Michigan in the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences. I enjoy teaching and was honored in 2010 as “Distinguished Professor of the Year” by the President’s Council of Universities in the State of Michigan. My classes cover a range of topics from air quality and meteorology to ownership issues for entrepreneurs. I annually leads undergraduates on expeditions to study tornadic thunderstorms.

I am also an entrepreneur as the co-founder of The Weather Underground, and LectureTools, which provides active learning tools to over a million students worldwide.
