Jarrett Starr
I am a first-year graduate student with the Wing group. I am currently working towards an M.S. in meteorology; however, I have interest in possibly switching tracks to the doctoral route. I am looking forward to fully immersing myself into the group and studying tropical cyclones (TCs) in global climate models.
I received my B.S. in meteorology from Florida State University in the spring of 2022. I completed an undergraduate honor’s thesis with Dr. Ming Cai using an effective absolute angular momentum (eAAM) model to structure an axisymmetric radial surface wind profile of a given TC using outskirt wind data. This research connected with me and sparked my interest in wanting to stay tropical-oriented with my research in graduate school. Dr. Allison Wing’s wide range of expertise in of tropical meteorology research was always intriguing to me and once she offered the opportunity for me to join the group, there was no turning back. I am grateful for the opportunity, and I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this group!
On a personal note, I am originally from Gainesville, VA which is about 30 or so miles west of Washington, D.C. The numerous snowstorms in that area of the nation are what originally gathered my interest in meteorology. I have an affinity for everything about the beach, sports, my family, my girlfriend Madison, and our bunny rabbit Charlie.
