Lucia Deaconu is a scientist studying atmospheric interactions between aerosols, clouds and climate using remote sensing observations from ground-based stations and satellite retrievals. Her interests include studying the impact of aerosols on clouds, precipitation and on the Earth’s radiative budged, as well as constraining aerosol uncertainties within global climate models using observations and the impact of absorbing aerosols (such as aerosols from biomass burning) on clouds and climate. Dr. Lucia Deaconu received her PhD in 2017 from the University of Lille, in France and followed a career from Postdoctoral Researcher at the Oxford University within the Atmospheric Oceanic and Planetary Physics Department to Scientific Researcher at University of Babeș-Bolyai, within STAR-UBB and the ACTRIS-UBB national facility. She had collaborations with prestigious international scientists that resulted in multiple publications in respected journals and conference participations.
