Research interests

I am interested in boundary layer clouds physics and dynamics and their interaction with aerosol and precipitation from microphysical scale to mesoscale. My research involves using large-eddy model simulations and synergetic remote sensing observations from both ground-based and space-based sensors to help improve the representation of boundary layer clouds in global climate models.
