One of the unique aspect of the Earth’s climate is its active hydrological cycle. Water continuously evaporates form the Ocean, rises inside clouds and fall as rains. This unique feature of our planet’s atmosphere is central to life. It is also one of the most complex aspect of our climate. Understanding how the hydrological cycle and the atmospheric circulation interacts with each other, how they may change in the future and how this all may us are the central themes of my research.

About me
I am a professor of Mathematics and Atmosphere and Ocean Sciences at the Courant Institute in New York. After a Ph.D. with Isaac Held at Princeton University, I worked for a few years with Kerry Emanuel at NYU, before joining the faculty at NYU. I am also a co-PI for the Center for Prototype Climate Modeling at NYU-Abu Dhabi.
My students and I study many aspects of the Earth’s atmosphere, from thermodynamics to hurricanes to the global circulation.

About this site
I’ll maintain the site as best as I can. (For full disclosure, my last attempt at doing so ended about 3 years ago…) I hope to include a brief description of my research, and updated bibliography, a newsfeed, and a list of my collaborations…
