My research is organized around three interconnected themes. Understanding the processes that govern boundary layer clouds underpins both the assessment of deliberate climate interventions and the interpretation of the increasing Earth's energy imbalance, while each of these applications in turn sharpens the questions we ask about cloud processes.

A Framework for SRM Detectability: The Case of Stratospheric Aerosol Injection
Integrating detection and attribution into a single detectability framework, and applying it to stratospheric aerosol injection scenarios in three Earth system models.
Earth's East-West Albedo Symmetry
Using 25 years of CERES satellite observations to reveal a persistent East-West symmetry in Earth's reflected sunlight at 27°E, sustained by compensating cloud regimes.
On the Processes Governing Cloud Transition during Marine Cold-Air-Outbreaks
Demonstrating a snapshot-based space-time exchange approach to infer cloud processes during MCAO events over the northwestern Atlantic sampled by the NASA ACTIVATE campaign.
Radiative Impact of the IMO2020 Shipping Fuel Regulation
Using ensembles of neural networks trained on satellite and reanalysis to quantify the radiative impact of the 2020 global shipping fuel sulfur regulation (IMO2020).
Physical Science Reseach for Marine Cloud Brightening
Overviewing the physical science basis for MCB and discussing the knowledge and gaps in MCB viability and the risks associated with it.
Temporal Evolution in Cloud Water Adjustment to Aerosol Perturbations
Using ensemble of Large-eddy simulations (LES) and a novel conditional Monte Carle sampling method to examine temporal evolution in cloud water adjustment.
Low-Cloud Albedo Susceptibility to Aerosol Perturbations
Using satellite snapshot to derive albedo susceptibility for marine stratocumulus clouds and explore its co-variability with large-scale meteorological conditions.
The Impact of Biomass Burning Smoke on Clouds and Climate
Using field campaign data and satellite observations to characterize how sunlight-absorbing aerosols affect marine stratocumulus clouds.
