I'm driven to understand different aspects about the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Specifically, my current research interests and activities include:

• Understanding the downward limb of the AMOC: by understanding the stream function in depth coordinate and density coordinate and their connection, I try to reconcile the Eulerian perspective and Lagrangian perspective in terms of downward volume transport. 
• Running storm- and eddy- resolving global coupled ICON simulations. This unprecedented simulation brings an extraordinary opportunity to better understand the entire chain of the AMOC.
• Investigating the impact of greenhouse gas forcing on AMOC via its fingerprint of sea surface height.
