Da Yang is a Research Assistant Professor in the Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago. He completed his Ph.D. at the California Institute of Technology and was a Miller Research Fellow at UC Berkeley from 2014 to 2017. Yang's research predominantly revolves around understanding clouds, rainstorms, atmospheric dynamics, and climate change. He has investigated the organization of convective clouds into large-scale rainstorms and the environmental factors that influence the spatial scale of these storms. Notably, his discovery of how cold air rises in the tropical free troposphere led to further explorations of buoyancy effects related to water vapor. His work has significantly contributed to the forecasting of rainstorms and our understanding of atmospheric processes. Yang has published several papers in prestigious journals, highlighting his contributions to the field.
