Current Research
My research employs in-situ observations together with radar–lidar measurements from aircraft, surface-, and satellite-based field campaigns to investigate cloud microphysical properties like size parameters, water and ice concentration, etc., through statistical analyses. These insights contribute to improving global climate model predictions, where inaccurate representations of cloud structure and microphysics often lead to significant biases.
A major component of my work focuses on developing simplified cloud microphysical retrieval algorithms and integrating multi-platform observational datasets from diverse instruments. This approach reduces biases in the cloud detection capabilities of remote sensors and supports the advancement of atmospheric observing systems and future field campaigns.
Research Projects

Marine Boundary Layer Cloud Boundaries and Phase Estimation Using Airborne Radar and In Situ Measurements During the SOCRATES Campaign over Southern Ocean
This work presented a methodology that uses airborne radar and in situ measurements to identify cloud boundaries and phase for MBL clouds over the SO.

Quantifying the Differences in Southern Ocean Clouds Observed by Radar and Lidar From Three Platforms
This project focused on performing a synergistic analysis of the radar-only and combined radar-lidar observations across the three field campaigns (airborne, surface- and satellite) to compare cloud detection capabilities.

Associations of Trace Gases and Meteorological Parameters and Particulate Matter with Ozone under Smog Conditions
This work investigated the connection between tropospheric Ozone and other pollutants and meteorological conditions during a smog episode in Delhi.
