Atmospheric Scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), USA:

I am a Scientist 3 at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Department of Energy (DOE), USA, who is broadly interested in geophysical fluid dynamics, and have done research on a wide range of topics from the atmospheric/climate dynamics to air-sea interaction using mathematical, numerical, and comprehensive models, guided by observational data. The main theme of my work is advancing fundamental understanding of atmospheric processes that affect extratropical/tropical weather and climate. Potential research topics include but are not limited to, the dynamics of large-scale circulation (sudden stratospheric warmings, blockings, annular modes, stationary waves, planetary wave reflection), tropical meteorology (moisture modes, equatorial waves, cold surges), and extreme weather events.

Outside of work, I enjoy listening and watching classical music concerts (a big fan of Bach, Sibelius, Paganini, Shostakovich, and Tchaikovsky), traveling, and exploring the nature.
