Contributed to the E3SM-Project/E3SM repository by developing and refining features for atmospheric and climate modeling, with a focus on aerosol microphysics and subgrid cloud processes. Delivered enhancements such as solar radiation parameterization, tunable aerosol mode thresholds, and flexible time interpolation for SPC/SPA, using C++, Fortran, and CMake to ensure robust integration and extensibility. Addressed complex coupling issues between microphysics and aerosol models, improved configuration options, and strengthened code documentation and maintainability. The work emphasized reproducibility, user configurability, and scientific accuracy, supporting advanced simulation scenarios and enabling more reliable experimentation across diverse atmospheric modeling configurations and workflows.
In Apr 2026, delivered a new configurable time interpolation option for SPC/SPA in E3SM, enabling user-defined interpolation methods via namelist and improving data handling flexibility and reproducibility. The change is tracked under commit 94378a1c09e3b88eaf59f78bbcedb107b5fa87a4. No major bugs fixed this month; focus remained on feature delivery, code quality, and maintainability. Overall impact: enables more flexible experiment setups and faster iteration for SPC/SPA workloads. Technologies/skills demonstrated: namelist-driven configuration, cross-component integration, version-control discipline, and test-ready changes.

May 2025 focused on improving aerosol–microphysics coupling fidelity, configuration robustness, and code maintainability in the E3SM model. Delivered a set of bug fixes and an extension to support MODAL_AERO_5MODE across relevant code paths, targeting accurate coarse-mode aerosol processing, ice nucleation coupling, and rain-evaporation scenarios. The work reduces the risk of incorrect aerosol processing, improves cross-configuration consistency (MAM4/MAM5), and enables reliable experimentation with higher-mode configurations while maintaining backward compatibility.
