Research Interest

  • My research focuses on ice fog at global and local scales and its possible links to microplastics.
  • During my PhD, I focused on mixed-phase clouds to better understand the liquid-ice phase transition in different cloud types and geographical patterns; a comparison between different satellite and model datasets was used to be aware of the potentials and shortcomings of current global climate models.

 

Projects

 

Curses

  • Satellite climatology (exercise)
  • Atmospheric remote sensing infrastructures (exercise)
