Background

About Ryan Tornow

I'm a recent graduate from the University of Miami with a background in operational meteorology, tropical weather, marine sciences, and teaching. Through diverse experiences — including interning at two National Weather Service offices, training deep learning models with remote sensing imagery, and tutoring math and science to middle and high schoolers — I’ve developed a skillset centered on communicating scientific concepts to a wide range of audiences. I hope to apply and continue building these skills in a forecasting or research setting, as my natural curiosity drives me to seek out new challenges and contribute meaningful insights to the field of meteorology. Outside of work, I enjoy connecting with nature, whether that be through hiking, running half marathons, snorkeling, or freediving. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for the natural environment and inspired me to contribute to work that supports informed, science-based decision-making, especially as it relates to weather, climate, and our changing world.
