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 NY, I began attending several events organized by CUPS. I really enjoyed meeting new researchers in different fields who attended these events, which helped me create new connections. After a year of participating, I realized I wanted to be more involved and contribute to this community. Motivated by this, I decided to join the Networking Committee to help organize future events and foster connections within the group.
