Hi! I'm Prem Rao, a recent graduate from Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) with a Master of Science in Physics.
I also earned a Bachelors of Arts in both Physics and Computer Science, both from Case Western Reserve University.
I’m looking to broaden the skill-set I have as a researcher, academic and educator.
I'm interested in climate physics and understanding how anthropogenic climate change will impact human life in the future.
My most recent project focused on understanding the meridional structure of the tropopause, and is in the process of publication!
