Yi Huang

Dr Yi Huang is a Senior Lecturer in Climate Science at the School of Geography, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, The University of Melbourne. She is also a Chief Investigator of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes.

Yi's research seeks to address some of the fundamental yet climatically important questions that underpin the understanding of atmospheric processes, Earth’s energy budget and water cycle: How do clouds and precipitation modulate the Earth’s climate system? What processes control the properties of clouds and precipitation? How do these processes differ geographically? I believe this can only be achieved by innovative use of targeted field observations, state-of-the-art remote-sensing data and numerical modelling. Ultimately, Yi's work aims to harness the critical knowledge that will help improve weather and climate predictions at multiple scales.
