Biography
Hi! My name is Evan Gustafson and I am a M.S. student of the Department of Atmospheric Sciences here at the University of North Dakota. I received my Bachelor's of Science in Meteorology at Valparaiso University in northwest Indiana (an hour southeast of Chicago!).
I am originally from Madison, Wisconsin but currently reside in the Twin Cities where I had a front row seat of weather extremes living within the Midwest. This sparked a fascination for the weather and is the main driver in understanding how our atmosphere works. My research interests include severe weather phenomena, organized convective storms, and high-impact weather on society.
Outside of class, I am an avid sports fan of all things Wisconsin (Packers, Brewers, Bucks, and Badgers) while expanding my horizons through reading, listening to music, cooking, and hanging out with friends!
My research interests include organized convective systems, mesoscale meteorology, high-impact weather, forecasting, and the application of machine learning algorithms.
