Alexandra Anderson-Frey is an Assistant Professor in the College of the Environment, focusing on atmospheric science and mesoscale meteorology, with a particular interest in the study of severe storms. Her research encompasses the use of machine learning techniques to analyze environmental conditions that lead to tornado outbreaks, as well as investigating the storms that result in tornadoes that do not occur. She is also engaged in describing the growing intersection of risk exposure to deadly storms and reevaluating traditional forecasting techniques for atypical severe weather scenarios. Anderson-Frey aims to fill the gaps in the severe storm record, especially in the United States, and employs cloud-scale models to simulate severe weather conditions. She emphasizes the importance of defining what constitutes a 'good' severe weather warning. Committed to education, she is dedicated to helping undergraduate students build their programming skills and instilling confidence in them as emerging scientists.
