Happy to share that we have received new funding!

I am honored to contribute to the solar radiation management (SRM) project led by the University of Chicago.

University of Hawaii will work on the second workstream: “Reducing uncertainty surrounding how aerosol particles form in the wake of aircraft. This workstream will use multiscale modeling and advanced parameterization to better understand the size distribution and behavior of aerosols immediately after being released.”

Attending the 2025 Solar Radiation Management Annual Meeting hosted by the Simons Foundation.
I am contributing to the project “Modeling Atmospheric Turbulence and its Impacts on Plume Dispersion for Stratospheric Aerosol Injection”, led by Dr. Robert Wood (University of Washington).

04/14/2025

I am excited to join the Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB) workshop hosted by the Wood Group (University of Washington) in Leavenworth, WA. I will lead two sessions.

SESSION 3 (“thinking outside the box”):
What new approaches could be used for improved assessment of MCB efficacy and detectability (e.g. machine learning, emulators, perturb-parameter ensembles)?

SESSION 5 (“aerosol, cloud and climate changes: oh my!”):
How do cloud feedbacks with climate warming modulate the efficacy of MCB? How will changes in inadvertent anthropogenic aerosol emissions & changes in natural emissions with future climate modulate the future efficacy of MCB?

02/20/2025

I will give a talk at the Department of Earth System Science, Tsinghua University.
Title: Multiscale Modeling Studies for Solar Geoengineering.

12/13/2024

I will chair two oral sessions and give two poster presentations at AGU24:
Session 1: Stratospheric Dynamics, Aerosol Processes, and Interactions with the Troposphere.
Session 2: Boundary Layer Clouds and Climate Change.
Poster 1: Lagrangian Analysis of Particle Transport in the Stratosphere: How QBO Modulates Stratosphere-to-Troposphere Flux (ST-flux)?
Poster 2: Using Large Eddy Simulations to Study How Climate Change Influences Aerosol-Cloud Interactions in Marine Boundary Layer.

Thanks to the courtesy travel support from the US CLIVAR, I will be attending the Micro2Macro Workshop at the University of Wyoming in Laramie from October 28-30. I will present my research on aerosol-cloud interactions.

This summer, I joined the CICOES undergraduate intern program at the University of Washington as a research mentor. Click here to see my student’s research results.
Project: Using Data-Driven Methods to Estimate Cloud Radiative Effects.
Student: Liam Schafer, an undergraduate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

07/22/2024:

I will give an online talk at 2024 APARC Reanalysis Intercomparison (A-RIP) Planning Workshop.
Title: Quantifying Stratospheric Particle Transport and Exploring Related Physical Drivers: A Lagrangian Analysis.

06/03/2024:

I will give a poster presentation at CFMIP conference in Boston.
Title: Response of Aerosol-Cloud Interactions to Global Warming in Large Eddy Simulations.

05/30/2024:

Check our new paper in npj climate and atmospheric science! The paper is about stratospheric transport and dynamics, where we:
(1) Quantify the particle transport (e.g., particle number, lifetime, flux, tropospheric sinks) in the stratosphere.
(2) Explore the physical drivers (e.g., QBO, tropopause folding) influencing the stratospheric transport.
