José Pérez Chávez
RSS FeedHello fellow scientists! My name is José, and I love planets, stars, and atmospheres. I am on my third year of my Atmospheric Sciences PhD program at Howard University, working along side Dr. Christopher Boxe and Dr. Orenthal Tucker (NASA/GSFC). At the moment I'm focused on the Martian exosphere and the impact of gravity waves traveling from the lower atmopshere. I am new to this field, and I currently learning all I can!
Feel free to explore my research posts, learn more about me in the About section, or connect with me on social media!

How Privacy Suppression Distorts Health Disparity Analysis
Published: at 10:00 AMCDC WONDER's privacy protections systematically hide data from the populations we most want to study—small, rural, and minority communities. This article quantifies the bias and offers practical strategies for researchers.
Extracting Wave Parameters from Noisy Data: A Fourier Projection Approach
Published: at 10:00 AMWhen standard FFT fails in noisy conditions, temporal projection using Fourier orthogonality provides a robust alternative for extracting wavelengths from spatio-temporal data. Learn how this matched filter technique outperforms 2D FFT by orders of magnitude.
