Postdoctoral Research Scientist, Ocean and Climate Physics, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO), Columbia Climate School

BIOGRAPHY:

I am a postdoctoral research scientist at Columbia University, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. I’m now working on the effects of regional emissions of anthropogenic aerosols on climate change.

I got my Bachelor's degree in Atmospheric Sciences from the Ocean University of China in June 2012. Later, I pursued my Master's degree from the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, which I completed in June 2015. I earned my Ph.D. degree from the State University of New York at Albany in July 2021. From 2021 to 2023, I worked as a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS) program at Princeton University.
