Biography

Amanda began work at NCAR in 2009 after attending Colorado State University as part of the radar group, receiving her Masters of Science in 2011. She serves as scientific lead for the road weather program in RAL, and her main areas of focus are the use of connected vehicle data in weather observation/forecasting and decision support for road maintenance personnel and the traveling public. Her other areas of research include verification of decision support systems and numerical weather prediction models, radar, and nowcasting.

In addition to her research at NCAR, Amanda served as chair of the American Meteorological Society ITS/Surface Transportation Committee from 2021-2025 and is a member of the WMO expert network and the World Road Association (PIARC) Technical Committee 1.5 on Disaster Management. She also mentors students in research.
