Project #1: ICON-NWP Predicting the 2024 Sudden Stratospheric Warming

I am interested in ICON-NWP/Seamless and ICON-GCM in the applications of mid-latitude weather variability. Particularly, the latest sudden stratospheric warming in 2024 was represented in ICON-NWP at lead time 5 days.

More information is presented in my poster at ICCARUS 2024 - DWD.

Project #2: Stratosphere-Troposphere Interactions

I am currently working on Stratosphere-Troposphere coupling during wintertime weak polar vortex events. The aim is to discover new mechanisms and precursors to predict sudden stratospheric warming events.

Project #3: Convection during Extreme Mediterranean Cyclones:

I am also working on trying to quantify how important convection mechanism is during extreme Mediterranean cyclones events in summertime, and how the role of convection will change under climate warming.

Paper is currently in peer review. Stay tuned!

Project #4: Extreme dust storm over Cairo - 2023

Cairo experienced one of the worst dust storms in June 2023. How did such a storm develop?

This is my self-painted polar vortex mug. I believe it helps inspiring my research about the stratospheric polar vortex and extreme cold air outbreaks!
