Odran Sourdeval, Ph.D.

Odran Sourdeval obtained his Ph.D. in atmospheric physics from the University of Lille in 2012. Following a postdoctoral position at Leipzig University, he was appointed associate professor in atmospheric sciences at the University of Lille in 2018. His research advances the understanding of cloud processes, aerosol-cloud interactions, and their radiative effects by integrating remote sensing, modeling, and in situ observations. His current work focuses on refining observation-based estimates of the effective radiative forcing from aerosol-cloud interactions in both liquid and ice clouds, and on exploring the use of Lagrangian microphysical approaches to trace the origins of satellite-observed cloud properties. He was elected to the International Commission on Clouds and Precipitation in 2021.
