专家简介：
1. Curriculum Vitae
Professor Kuo-Nan Liou received his Ph.D. in meteorology and oceanography in the School of Engineering from New York University in 1970. After a postdoctoral research associate position at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies/Columbia University and a research faculty position at the University of Washington, Dr. Liou subsequently become an Associate Professor at the University of Utah in 1975 and was promoted to Full Professor in 1980. He served as Director of the Center for Atmospheric and Remote Sensing Studies from 1987-1997 and Chair of the Meteorology Department from 1996-1997. Dr. Liou joined UCLA in 1997 and served as Chair of the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Department from 2000-2004. He is currently a Distinguished Professor of Atmospheric Sciences and, since 2006, Director of the Joint Institute for Regional Earth System Science and Engineering. Professor Liou has held joint appointments with the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department since 2003 and the Electrical Engineering Department since 2010.
2. Research Interests
Professor Liou’s current research interests include electromagnetic scattering by ice crystals and aerosols, satellite remote sensing, radiative transfer, and climate modeling. Specifically, his research activities span from regional climate modeling and validation using satellite data to direct and indirect effects of aerosols on cloud radiative forcing and snow-albedo feedback,radiative transfer in 3D mountains and surface energy balance in climate models, and laboratory light scattering and spectroscopy involving small ice crystals and aerosols.
Professor Liou has authored and co-authored more than 236 peer-reviewed papers, invited book chapters, and review articles.
