Research Interests

Hsiang-He's research interests include boundary layer meteorology, atmospheric aerosols and clouds, regional air quality, and the roles of aerosol-cloud interaction in atmospheric chemistry, precipitation, and climate dynamics. Hsiang-He has been involved to develop and utilize aerosol physics and chemistry model to couple with a global climate system model and a regional air quality model to study the impacts of anthropogenic pollutions on global and regional climate. She joined Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 2018 and worked in the area of E3SM development with the goal of improving the representation of marine stratocumulus clouds by implementing a novel adaptive vertical grid enhancement technique. She also developed an E3SM chemistry diagnostic tool, ChemDyg, for E3SM chemistry developers and users. Her research interests also include wildfire, renewable energy, and the application of Machine Learning on renewable energy and climate study.
