Biography

I am currently a JIFRESSE postdoc affiliated with the Aerosols and Clouds group at Jet Propulsion Laboratory. My research mainly focuses on understanding dynamical and microphysical processes in shallow and deep convective clouds using multi-platform remote sensing (e.g., radar and satellite), ground-based observation, and high-resolution model simulations. I am also interested in the processes of understanding severe weather events (e.g., extreme rainfall, severe storms with tornados and hail, and organized mesoscale convective systems.
