Biography

Valentin Louf studied atmospheric remote sensing at the University of Sciences and Technologies of Lille, Villeneuve-d’Ascq, France. He received the Ph.D. degree in atmospheric physics from the University of Lille, Lille, France, in 2014. His work has dealt with tropical convection using weather radars, as well as new processing and calibration techniques for weather radars. Since 2016, he has been with Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia, and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Melbourne studying topical convection using weather radar observations
