Career Overview
I am a research scientist specializing in cloud physics and aerosol-cloud interaction, My Ph.D. thesis title is 'Effects of Melting and Fall Speed Paramterizations for Ice-phase Particles on Physical Processes in Idealized Convective Clouds: Numerical Studies', which focuses on microphysical processes of ice in cloud modelling. During my visit at Weizmann Institute, I develop my love for cloud morphology and cloud dynamics. Thus, I am working on the physical processes within clouds from the perspectives of satellite observations and numerical simulations.
