Professors Cantrell, Kostinski, and Shaw

Research Assistantships are currently available in atmospheric physics. Highly qualified, self-motivated students are encouraged to apply. Research work can be experimental, computational, theoretical, or some combination of all three based on the desire and interests of the student. Projects with current funding include:

• Laboratory studies of heterogeneous nucleation of ice (Cantrell)
• Theoretical and computational studies of stochastic processes in clouds (Kostinski)
• Radar meteorology (Kostinski)
• Laboratory studies of the kinetics of cloud particle formation and growth (Shaw)
• Laboratory studies of turbulence/cloud particle interaction (Shaw)

See the individual faculty web pages for more details. For more information about this program, contact the faculty at:
