Naufal Razin is a Research Scientist who joined CIRA in November 2021 in Fort Collins, CO. He got his B.S. in Meteorology (2015) from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, and his M.S. (2018) and Ph.D. (2022) in Atmospheric Science from Colorado State University. In his M.S. research, Naufal used airborne radar observations to highlight the role of dominantly stratiform kinematics in the unconventional eyewall replacement cycle of Hurricane Ophelia (2005). In his Ph.D. work, Naufal used machine learning and the Tropical Cyclone Precipitation, Infrared, Microwave, and Environmental Dataset (TC PRIMED) to analyze the role of convective and stratiform precipitation in tropical cyclone intensity change. He collaborated with scientists from the CSU Department of Atmospheric Science and CIRA to develop TC PRIMED.

As a Research Scientist at CIRA, he uses satellite observations and machine learning to understand tropical cyclones and develop forecast applications. He also develops Python-based Jupyter notebook Learning Journeys demonstrating the use of machine learning in weather applications through the NOAA Center for Artificial Intelligence.
