Graduate Student
Shaban
Mirella graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in Spring 2020 with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Studies, minoring in Biology and receiving a certificate in Sustainable Innovation. She expressed a strong interest in serving her community by addressing food insecurity, cultural bias, and environmental justice in her community. Shortly after, she began pursuing a Doctorate degree in Environmental Science at the University of Virginia where she currently studies micro-meteorology in the Arctic using an interdisciplinary, community centered approach.
Kerns
Kylor earned her BSc. in Environmental Science at the University of Virginia. Her research interests include coastal marine ecosystems and blue carbon. Specifically, her research focuses on seagrass resilience and restoration, asking questions about metabolism, temperature stresses, nutrient cycling, and multi-trophic interactions. After working with the community on the eastern shore of Virginia with the VCR LTER and conducting citizen scientist projects with the Blue Carbon Lab in Australia, she has also found a deep passion for science communication and outreach.

Liu
Huiyu received a BS degree in Atmospheric Sciences from Lanzhou University in China and spent her third year at the University of Reading in the UK. During her time as an undergraduate, she studied the radiative forcing of ozone and its impact on global precipitation and the aerosol properties in East Asia. For her Ph.D, she is researching on regional characteristics of variability in the jet streams and the roles of moist processes in controlling the jet variabilities.
Li
Rong double-majored in Information Engineering and Applied Mathematics during her undergraduate studies at Beihang University. She then received a Masters’ degree from the same institution with a concentration in canopy radiative transfer and solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence. Her research interests include remote sensing, radiative transfer, and solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence.

Crowe
Born & raised in the Lone Star state, David hails from Texas State with a B.S. in computer science. His current work explores vertical motions of the boundary layer within complex terrain by leveraging numerical weather modelling, wind climatology assembled with Doppler lidar and crowd-sourced weather data, and in-situ observations from sailships within the Rockfish Valley.
