Milind Sharma studies aerosols (tiny airborne particles) and their interactions with clouds, storms, and urban boundary layers (the lowest part of the atmosphere shaped by ground-level conditions), with a strong focus on coastal Houston, Texas through the TRACER field campaign. This work combines ground-based instruments, lidar (laser-based remote sensing), radiosondes (weather balloons), and computer models to understand how aerosols and urban environments affect air quality, cloud formation, and convective storms. Prospective students would be looking at atmospheric science research blending field observations with modeling of aerosol-cloud-convection interactions in urban coastal settings.
