I'm a postdoctoral researcher at a climate modeling group, focusing on the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) using the E3SM model. My research interests span various aspects of middle atmospheric dynamics and chemistry, encompassing topics like stratosphere-troposphere exchange (including volcanic eruptions and deep convective overshooting impacts), long-term change in the middle atmosphere, and polar mesospheric clouds.
