Associate Professor of Atmospheric Science

Department of Earth System Science, Tsinghua University

I study the atmospheric water and energy cycles, atmospheric transport, atmospheric composition, and large-scale climate dynamics. I supervise graduate students and teach graduate-level courses.

• Tenured since January 2018

Research Scientist V

Jackson School of Geosciences, University of Texas at Austin

I conducted research on atmospheric transport and composition, particularly in the tropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. I worked directly with graduate students and assisted with organizing group meetings and activities.

Postdoctoral Research Associate

Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge

I worked in the Atmospheric Dynamics Group to characterize influences of clouds on the transport of water vapor and chemical pollutants into the stratosphere.

Postdoctoral Research Scientist

Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics, Columbia University

I worked within the research group of Prof. Adam Sobel developing and employing techniques to diagnose water vapor transport in general circulation model simulations and observational data.
