Assia Arouf

I received my Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science from Sorbonne Université (Paris). Since October 2023, I have been a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the Columbia University Climate School and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York. I am broadly interested in Earth's climate system, with a focus on clouds. My research aims to better understand the cloud radiative effect and cloud feedback. I typically work with satellite observations, in combination with radiative transfer codes and climate models, aiming to improve our understanding of clouds and climate projections.

Shortly after settling in New York, I began attending several events organized by CUPS. I really enjoyed meeting new researchers, building connections, and becoming part of the community. After a few months, I joined the Networking Committee, and later transitioned to serving as Co-president. I love organizing events and fostering meaningful connections within the group.
