Connor Cozad joined the Unidata Program Center as a software development summer intern on May 17, 2021. He is a rising junior studying data science and meteorology at the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina.
Says Connor:
I found meteorology fascinating at a young age, and I discovered my passion for working with computers and data when I was in high school. At the College of Charleston, I’ve been learning how I can combine these two interests in exciting ways. I am part of a research project working to develop an app that predicts where street flooding is expected to occur across Charleston County. This project has really solidified my interest in pursuing a career that combines data and meteorology.
