Kollias is currently a SUNY Empire Innovation Professor at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University – SUNY and has a joint appointment with the Environmental Science and Technologies Department at Brookhaven National Laboratory. He is also Adjunct Professor at the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at McGill University, Canada and Global faculty at the University of Cologne Germany. Kollias was a prestigious Canada Research Chair and Professor at McGill University, Montreal Canada from 2007 to 2016.
Kollias has spent twenty-five years at the cutting edge of atmospheric experimentation. Kollias is internationally recognized as one of the leading thinkers in the use of radars for the study of atmospheric phenomena. He has authored and co-authored over 230 peer-reviewed scientific articles, and he is the recipient of a Humboldt Research Fellowship from Germany in 2013 and of the AGU Atmospheric Sciences Ascent Award in 2020.
Scientists
Dr. Mariko Oue is a Research Assistant Professor of SoMAS, Stony Brook University. Her interest is cloud and precipitation microphysics and dynamics from radar/lidar observations. She analyzes radar polarimetric observables, Doppler spectra, and dual wavelength ratio, and multi-radar wind retrievals. She also uses a radar simulator (https://www.bnl.gov/cmas/cr-sim.php) to better understand radar observations and model representations.

Dr. Katia Lamer is a Scientist in the Department of Environmental and Climate Sciences at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Director of Operations of its Center for Multiscale Applied Sensing. She has broad interests in both Earth Sciences and sustainability. Katia obtained her B.Sc. and M.Sc. from McGill university. Her early research focused on dynamical properties in boundary layer clouds. She then obtained her Ph.D. degree from PennState University under the supervision of Dr. Eugene Clothiaux, where she focused on interfacing ground-based remote sensing observations and general circulation models to evaluate their representation of mixed-phase clouds. Since she joined Brookhaven National Lab in 2019 Dr. Lamer has been applying her knowledge of remote sensing and atmospheric science to urban challenges. She led the development of BNL’s mobile observatory and continues to develop innovative ways to collect observations of atmospheric boundary layer properties in cites for a broad range of applications ranging from climate resilience, environmental justice, and national security.

Dr Alessandro Battaglia is an Associate Professor at Politecnico di Torino and the University of Leicester. He is a world-renowned expert in active and passive microwave remote sensing. Battaglia has developed several sophisticated multisensor algorithms for the study of clouds and precipitation from space. He is involved in several spaceborne missions including EarthCARE, WIVERN and INCUS.

Edward Luke‘s research interests focus on the development of novel techniques for observing the microphysics and dynamics of clouds and precipitation using millimeter wavelength radars, particularly their Doppler spectra, with an emphasis on improving our detailed observational capabilities of cloud-precipitation mixtures toward an improved understanding of precipitation formation processes in both warm and cold clouds. Approaches of particular interest include machine learning, GPU computing, and co-visualization of diverse datasets.
