Jake Mulholland

Jake Mulholland is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Atmospheric & Environmental Sciences at the University at Albany, SUNY (2024-present). Previously, he held roles such as Research Faculty Associate (2020-2022) and NRC Post-Doctoral Fellow (2019-2020) at the Naval Postgraduate School, and Assistant Professor at the University of North Dakota (2022-2024). His research focuses on severe convective storms, including numerical modeling, storm dynamics, and environmental interactions. He teaches courses in physical meteorology, mesoscale meteorology, and atmospheric convection.

Education includes a PhD in Atmospheric Sciences (2019) and MS (2016) from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and a BS in Meteorology from SUNY Oswego (2014).

Research interests emphasize theoretical and observational studies of convective storms, urban impacts on convection, vertical wind shear effects, and convection initiation mechanisms. His work leverages high-resolution modeling and field campaign data (e.g., CACTI, OWLeS). Recent studies analyze squall line-city interactions, cold pool dynamics, and hydrometeor displacement in supercells.

Awards and grants are not explicitly listed in the text, but his extensive publications (over 40 articles since 2015) reflect sustained research productivity. Teaching responsibilities include undergraduate and graduate courses on atmospheric processes.
