I am a postdoctoral researcher in the AEED-ASRA group, with research interests that span a wide range of atmospheric and space phenomena, including extreme weather events in both the troposphere and space weather, climate change, and the interactions between gravity waves and the atmospheric background. My primary focus is on understanding the physics, distribution, and impact of atmospheric gravity waves in the stratosphere and higher altitudes.
Currently, I am engaged in analyzing both observational datasets and model simulations to study disturbances in the stratosphere, with the goal of improving our understanding of their broader implications on atmospheric dynamics and climate systems.
