Quentin Coopman, Ph.D.

Affiliations
  • University of Lille

Quentin Coopman has been an associate professor in atmospheric sciences at the University of Lille since 2023. He is currently working on developing new parametrization representing the impacts of aerosols on cloud droplet size and glaciation processes focusing on mixed-phase clouds. His work uses the synergy of satellite observations and numerical models to spatially and temporally collocate aerosol and cloud properties. Before that, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the remote sensing group at McGill University from February 2021 to August 2023 and at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology from 2017 to 2021 in cloud physics, developing a cloud tracking algorithm from space-based observations to analyze the cloud thermodynamic phase transition. He did his Ph.D. in atmospheric science at the University of Utah and the University of Lille on the aerosol-cloud interaction in the Arctic.
