Corinna Hoose

Prof. Dr. Corinna Hoose leads the Cloud Physics research group at the Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research - Tropospheric Research (IMKTRO) within Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). She has held this W3 Professorship since 2013 and previously led a Helmholtz Young Investigators Group (2010-2016). Her work focuses on aerosol-cloud interactions, mixed-phase cloud processes, and numerical modeling of atmospheric systems.

• Professor of Theoretical Meteorology at KIT (2013-present)
• Former Helmholtz Group Leader (2010-2016)
• University of Oslo & ETH Zurich Postdoc experience
• Co-Editor of Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics

Research Interests center on ice nucleation mechanisms, cloud dynamics, and climate sensitivity studies. Her group develops parameterizations for heterogeneous ice nucleation and investigates precipitation formation across different cloud types. Notable methodological contributions include SEVIRI satellite data analysis and ICON model modifications for microphysical-dynamic coupling.

Publication Trends show consistent leadership in mixed-phase cloud modeling (2013-2025), with particular emphasis on Arctic cloud systems, heterogeneous ice formation, and aerosol impacts on precipitation. Her work bridges laboratory ice nucleation studies (e.g., dust-ash parameterizations) and regional climate modeling at various spatial resolutions.

Teaching includes core courses in Theoretical Meteorology, Numerical Methods, and Cloud Physics at KIT. She has mentored multiple early-career researchers as evidenced by co-authorships with advisees like A. Oertel and L. Ickes.

Collaborations span institutions including ETH Zurich, University of Oslo, and EU projects like EUCAARI. Her research group interacts with observational teams through field campaigns like Swabian MOSES and utilizes both in situ and remote sensing data for model validation.
