Jackson State University associate professor Heping Liu won a nearly $500,000 award from the National Science Foundation to fund his research over the next five years.
Liu, who began teaching meteorology at JSU in 2004, studies some of the processes that can make weather and climate prediction uncertain. Specifically, his research focuses on radiation and water and energy exchange below the earth's surface and in the atmosphere.
"This exchange is governed by very complex, non-linear turbulent processes," Liu said in a release.
The NSF grant, a Faculty Early Career Development award, is awarded on a competitive basis to support early-career researchers who integrate their own work with their teaching.
"Through this project, I am also eager to work with our students to motivate them to pursue research in atmospheric sciences," Liu said.
Liu is the first member of his department and one of only a few professors at the university to receive the NSF award.
