Chongxing Fan
Chongxing recently joined Dr. David Paynter's research group at Princeton AOS / GFDL in June 2024. He received his Ph.D. degree in Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering from the University of Michigan. His research interests include satellite data analysis, climate modeling, and machine learning applications in climate sciences. Chongxing's past research experiences include aerosol-climate interactions during his undergraduate study at Nanjing University in China. At the University of Michigan, he used satellite observations to quantify the changes in surface radiative properties due to the construction of solar farms, leading to two research papers. Sponsored by the NASA FINESST fellowship, he has been working on modeling solar farms with a better physical representation in global climate models. In addition, he has published two research articles on the impact of cloud longwave scattering on climate simulation and infrared remote sensing.
