Research Interest:
My main research is on climate modeling. Specifically, I study how the small particles emitted by fossil fuel burning affect the climate and how to represent that in the global climate models. However, I’m broadly interested in the effects of climate change and how we should cope with them. That leads me to the interest in renewable energy sources and clean technology.
