I am a project scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).
My principal research interest lies in the physical processes in clouds, such as the formation and growth of cloud particles (aerosol, droplets and ice crystals), and how they impact clouds and precipitation at small and large scales. I use high resolution models, such as DNS, LES, and cloud-scale resolving model, and convective permitting models, with the help from observations such as in-situ and remote sensing measurements, laboratory experiments to improve the representations of clouds and precipitation across the scales. Besides fundamental research, I am also keen on transforming the fundamental knowledge to applied science. One application of study cloud physics is on cloud seeding. I use the cloud seeding model, WRF-WxMod developed at NCAR to study the impact of winter orographic cloud seeding. I also study summer convective cloud seeding. In addition, I also study the clouds and precipitation at continental scales and how they are affected by climate change.
