My research focuses on better understanding clouds and convective processes. I combine observations, high-resolution simulations and conceptual models to study how clouds respond to changes in their large-scale environment, for example under climate change. I’m particularly interested in constraining the influence of rain and mesoscale convective organization on climate and the hydrological cycle. 

I received an ERC Starting Grant in 2023 to elucidate how the evaporation of tiny rain drops influences our life on Earth (link to the ROTOЯ project, see also TAZ article). I was PI of ORCESTRA-SCORE and organized CP-MIP with Jan Kazil (link). I’m also an ACP editor (link).
