Biography:
Dr. Luo received his Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science from Columbia University in 2003. His doctoral research was conducted at NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (located near Columbia Univ.) and postdoctoral training was at Colorado State University. Dr. Luo’s research interest is satellite remote sensing and clouds in the context of climate and climate change. In particular, he studies processes related to tropical convection, high-level clouds and upper-tropospheric humidity through analyzing satellite data, in situ measurements and model simulations. Recently, Dr. Luo started to develop a new interest in hurricane topics and made some contributions toward finding satellite application of Prof. Kerry Emanuel's hurricane intensity theory. See NASA News Release on Dr. Luo's hurricane study: NASA Data May Help Improve Estimates of a Hurricane's Punch
