My research focuses on aerosol-cloud-climate interactions, using a combination of measurements, climate modeling, and machine learning to address this critical issue in shaping our climate. Specifically, I study two key types of clouds: the extensive stratocumulus clouds that cover the oceans and the mixed-phase clouds prevalent in high-latitude regions. I use observations to explore the physical and chemical properties of aerosols that influence these clouds, while also employing models to investigate how clouds respond to aerosol perturbations, radiation forcing, and the overall impact on climate.
In addition, I study climate sensitivity and cloud feedback in a warming world, with a particular focus on mixed-phase clouds, which are responsible for the majority of precipitation on Earth.
