He received his MSc and PhD in atmospheric sciences from the University of Arizona in Tucson and did his postdoctoral studies in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. He currently works in the Meteorological institute at the University of Hamburg, Germany, specializing in the remote sensing of cloud macro- and microphysical properties using conventional and multiangle satellite observations. He is one of the original developers of the stereo cloud-motion wind retrieval algorithm for the Multiangle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument. In recent years, he has been focusing on the use of high spatiotemporal-resolution geostationary imagery to investigate volcanic plumes, gravity waves, and island wake vortex dynamics.
