PhD Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences 2019; M.S. Environmental Engineering University of California Berkeley, B.S. Engineering Mechanics University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Laura has studied methods for improving atmospheric simulations by coupling mesoscale and large-eddy simulation models (JAMES 2017) and for generating turbulence within nested large-eddy simulations using perturbation methods (JAMES 2019). Laura also collected data during the Perdigão field campaign. Dr. Mazzaro is now an Applied Scientist at Descartes Labs.
