Research field

Meteorology, Atmospheric radiation, Remote sensing

Research interests

I am interested in atmospheric radiation and remote sensing of the atmosphere such as cloud, aerosol, and water vapor which are most influential in the atmospheric environment on the earth. I am working on an algorithm development to retrieve cloud and aerosol properties from the remote sensing data in conjunction with space agencies, and so on. The analysis of meterological and remotely sensed data to understand the atmospheric environment is one of the most interesting research themes which I am working on with my students.
