AOS assistant professor Jasper Kok was featured on the UCLA College of Physical Sciences website for Research Highlights. The feature touches upon his research into factoring dust into climate change models.

Excerpt from the research highlight feature:

AOS would like to welcome Pablo Saide to our department.

A message from AOS department chair, Jochen Stutz, welcoming our new assistant professor.

AOS welcomes Adjunct Professor Hui Su to our department.

Hui Su’s research focuses on the use of climate model simulations and the analysis of modern satellite observations to investigate the physical processes that control past, present and future climates of our earth. She is currently a research scientist at JPL and the Assistant Director of JIFRESSE. She previously worked as a researcher at AOS with David Neelin.  Congratulations Hui Su and welcome back to the department!
