Prof. Ilan Koren

Looking for PhD students interested in cloud physics, nonlinear dynamics, self-organizing systems, remote sensing, and radiation transfer.

Our group studies clouds and their role in the climate system. We are interested in the dynamic and microphysical processes within clouds and cloud fields, cloud organization, atmospheric radiation transfer, and clouds' climatic trends. We are exploring the emergence of pattern formation within cloud fields using mathematical models and AI.

We develop analytical models, use numerical models, and analyze surface and satellite observations. Additionally, we are developing new AI approaches to study the emergence of patterns in self-organizing systems.

If you are interested in these topics and have a solid background in physics, geophysics, atmospheric sciences, and/or mathematics, you are welcome to contact us.
