Alan ShapiroTitle: Professor Dr. Shapiro received a B.S. with distinction in Atmospheric Science from Cornell University in 1983, and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics from The Johns Hopkins University in 1985 and 1987, respectively. From 1987-1989 he was a postdoctoral scientist at the National Meteorological Center (now one of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction), where he worked on the initialization of numerical hurricane prediction models. From 1990-1995 he was a scientist at the Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms (CAPS), where he worked on problems of radar data analysis, single-Doppler velocity retrieval and numerical weather prediction. He joined the faculty of the School of Meteorology at the University of Oklahoma in 1996, as an Assistant Professor. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 2001 and to Professor in 2007. His research interests are in areas of geophysical fluid dynamics (natural convective flows, waves, vortices, katabatic flows and the derivation and interpretation of exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations) and radar data analysis techniques (single- and multiple-Doppler radar analysis techniques, advection-correction procedures, and tornado detection algorithms).
