Arctic Cloud Streets

Cloud streets related to an Arctic Cold Air Outbreak. I am studying their impact on the solar radiation budget and their macro- and microphysical properties.

Sea Salt Aerosol interaction

We studied the interaction of sea salt aerosol with the tropical shallow cumulus clouds, using radar and lidar instruments.

The AIRTOSS Project

An Aircraft Towed Sensor Shuttle (AIRTOSS) tandem platform to study the radiative affects of Cirrus clouds in the Atmosphere.

Shallow Cumulus Clouds

We measured with remote sensing instruments the shallow convective mass flux profiles in the trade wind region to identify its variation.

Arctic Boundary Layer Clouds

During my PhD I analysed the cloud top layer of Arctic boundary layer clouds and how it interacts with the dry air above.

About me

I am an atmospheric scientist and have mostly worked with in situ, active, and passive remote sensing measurements to study clouds from airborne and ground-based platforms. In addition to processing, analyzing, and visualizing the data, I have developed and applied methods to retrieve further products, such as microphysical cloud properties. The results have been published in scientific journals with me as first or co-author.
In addition, I have gained experience as a project manager and Mission PI during several airborne-based research campaigns. This has helped me improve my leadership and supervision skills and given me a different view of the projects.
In my spare time, I like to develop software and small hardware projects. For example, I have developed a face tracking algorithm using a small drone, which gives the drone autonomous behavior. You can find the result here.
