Current work on aerosols - clouds - climate interactions and climate predictability.I contributed to several national and international research projects in Atmospheric Sciences. I developed a model for pollution studies for assessing the role of aerosols in the climate system. I collaborated with scientists from GFDL, and University of Hawaii.I contributed to the Cirrus Regional Study of Tropical Anvils and Cirrus Layers - Florida Area Cirrus Experiment (CRYSTAL-FACE) NASA project with studies of the role of vertical velocity in cirrus anvil on the cloud microphysical properties, in collaboration with GFDL, Yale University, and NCAR.I participated in the NASA Tropical Cloud Systems and Processes (TCSP) project with a contribution on the role of aerosol on ice clouds and possible impact on Atlantic tropical storms (in collaboration with GFDL, Princeton University, and University of Hawaii).Recent publications:http://www.springer.com/us/book/9783319725826https://www.elsevier.com/books/mixed-phase-clouds/andronache/978-0-12-810549-8

While at AER, I applied models for the evaluation of radiative properties of aerosols, and contributed to the Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) international project in collaboration with GFDL.

At Princeton University/GFDL, I developed numerical models to evaluate the impact of aerosols on the microphysical and radiative properties of clouds, with applications to: cloud resolving models, aerosol scavenging by clouds and precipitation, and climate change.I contributed to these research programs:Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX)Tropical Ocean Global Atmospheres/Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA/COARE)

During the doctoral studies, I developed numerical models to evaluate the impact of aerosols on the microphysical and radiative properties of clouds, with applications to: contrails, air pollution, background tropospheric chemistry, and cloud resolving models.I contributed to several research projects: Global Tropospheric Experiment (GTE)Aerosol Emission and Formation in Aircraft PlumesAviation and the Global AtmosphereAtmospheric Effects of Aviation: A Review of NASA's Subsonic Assessment Project (1999)SUbsonic aircraft: Contrail & Clouds Effects Special Study (SUCCESS)Southern Oxidants Study (SOS)
