About me
I specialize in process modelling to study aerosol-cloud interactions, a critical area in climate science. My research examines how aerosol properties—such as size, chemical composition, and hygroscopicity interact with atmospheric dynamics to shape cloud properties. Using cloud parcel models, MCMC techniques, and long-term observational datasets, I focus on understanding the boreal forest's aerosol and cloud properties. By identifying and ranking the key parameters, my work aims to provide critical insights that will contribute to enhancing the accuracy and reliability of global climate models
