My research interests include improving our understanding of convection, lightning, clouds and precipitation using observations from satellite, aircraft, and ground-based remote sensing and in-situ instruments. I am also interested in the atmospheric trace gases vertical transport by deep convection. My research projects have ranged from remote sensing of precipitation using airborne and spaceborne radar and microwave radiometers, relationship between the strength of convective cloud and lightning, troposphere and stratosphere trace gases exchange, study of tropical cyclones and extreme storms around the globe.
