معرفی
Edwin Gerber is a Professor of Mathematics and Atmosphere/Ocean Science at New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, affiliated with the Department of Environmental Studies and Center for Data Science. He holds a Ph.D. from Princeton University (2006), focusing on Applied and Computational Mathematics. His research centers on understanding climate variability and atmospheric dynamics, particularly stratosphere-troposphere interactions and improving climate models through idealized studies. He has contributed to the Dynamics and Variability Model Intercomparison Project (DynVarMIP) for CMIP6 and received the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award (2021).
Key research interests include the role of the upper atmosphere in surface climate, gravity wave parameterization, and the response of jet streams to global warming. Gerber has authored over 100 publications, including studies on stratospheric ozone dynamics, sudden stratospheric warmings, and machine learning applications in climate modeling. His work bridges theory and complex Earth system models to enhance climate prediction accuracy.
Notable awards include the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Award and Hertz Foundation Fellowship. He served as Director of Graduate Studies for the Atmosphere Ocean Science PhD program and Associate Editor of the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society. His grants include NSF-funded projects on gravity wave parameterization and stratospheric dynamics.
