Mark Pinsky is a Professor in the Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Dr Pinsky is a leading expert in the investigation and modeling of drop condensation/evaporation and turbulence impact on collision processes in clouds. The cloud models he has developed have enabled us – for the first time – to explain the impact of turbulence on precipitation formation as well as drizzle formation. Dr Pinsky has participated in several joint European and American research projects in the fields of cloud physics, precipitation enhancement, and satellite and radar meteorology. He has published over 100 academic papers on cloud physics, cloud modeling, radar meteorology, and estimation of symmetry measure in chemistry.
