I am a climate scientist studying climate dynamics and climate change. My research focuses on large-scale interactions in the coupled climate system, such as atmosphere-ocean interactions and tropics-extratropics teleconnections, and how these dynamic processes are coupled with the Earth's radiative responses and climate sensitivity to anthropogenic and natural forcings.
I use climate models (both complex global climate models and idealized conceptual models) and observations to better understand the fundamental physics of the coupled climate system.

I am looking for new PhD students to join my group in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences UCLA studying large-scale coupled climate interactions between the atmosphere (e.g., clouds, circulation, precipitation), oceans (e.g. temperature, salinity, heat uptake), and the cryosphere. Graduate research topics in my group include:
Interactions between the Southern Ocean and the tropical Pacific
Formation of global surface temperature patterns
Constraints on climate sensitivity, hydrological sensitivity, and global energy budget
Forced and unforced climate change over the historical period
