Biography
Dr. Jiwen Fan is a post-doctorate research associate in Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Climate Physics department in the Atmospheric Sciences & Global Change division. Dr. Fan is currently working on coupling a new cloud microphysics scheme to the cloud-resolving model to create a tool for studying the indirect effect of aerosols.
Before joining PNNL in June 2007, Dr. Fan was a research assistant at Texas A&M University. During that time, she investigated aerosol properties and their impacts on deep convective clouds by modeling simulations and observational analyses in the Houston area. Dr. Fan also improved aerosol simulations by parameterization of a new nucleation scheme and investigated ozone formation and the role of its precursors in Houston using chemical transport models.
