Biography:

Dr. J.-Y. Christine Chiu received her Bachelor of Science in Atmospheric Science from National Central University of Taiwan in 1992. Following the acquisition of a Master of Science degree in Atmospheric Physics from National Central University in 1994, she worked at the Environmental Protection Agency of Taiwan for three years. In 1998, she commenced her doctorate at Purdue University, and received her Ph.D. in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences in 2003. She has worked in the area of microphysics schemes in both mesoscale and microwave radiative transfer modeling, and microwave retrieval algorithm development, validation, and applications, with an emphasis on the retrieval of instantaneous rain intensity, water vapor, and surface wind speed over the ocean. In 2003 she joined JCET as a Research Associate. Her research currently focuses on the spatial correlation of cloud droplets, the shortwave radiative interactions between the surface and clouds, and their impact on climate modeling and remote sensing applications.
