I am an assistant professor in the department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EAS) at Cornell University. Before I join Cornell, I was a postdoctral fellow in the Program of Atmospheres, Oceans and Climate (PAOC) at MIT, hosted by Alan Plumb, supported by the NOAA Climate and Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowship, administered by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR/VSP). I received my PhD degree in August 2007 from the Program of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS) at Princeton University, supervised by Isaac Held.
Curriculum VitaeTheory and modeling of the global circulation of the atmosphere
Climate change and its regional impact
We often have research opportunities in climate dynamics for undergraduate, graduate students or postdoctoral fellows. Please contact me with your research interests and a brief CV.
