معرفی
Edwin P. Gerber is a Professor of Mathematics and Atmosphere/Ocean Science at New York University’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. He holds joint affiliations with the Department of Environmental Studies and the Center for Data Science. His research focuses on understanding climate variability and dynamics, particularly the role of stratosphere-troposphere interactions and simplified climate models. Gerber earned his Ph.D. in Applied and Computational Mathematics from Princeton University (2006), following an M.A. (2002) and B.S. in Mathematics and Chemistry from the University of the South (2000).
His work bridges theory and Earth System models, investigating topics like the Brewer-Dobson Circulation, sudden stratospheric warmings, and ozone layer dynamics. Key achievements include the DynVarMIP initiative for CMIP6 and contributions to gravity wave parameterization. Gerber has received awards such as the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award (2021) and Hertz Foundation Fellowship (2000-2005). His research has been supported by grants from NSF, NASA, and international collaborations.
Gerber’s lab explores machine learning applications in climate modeling, including data-driven parameterization of gravity waves. He serves as Associate Editor for the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society and has led initiatives like the SPARC Reanalysis Intercomparison Project (S-RIP). His recent studies address tropical teleconnections, stratospheric ozone responses to global warming, and extreme event predictability.
Gerber’s teaching includes courses on atmospheric dynamics, climate change, and differential equations. He emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches, integrating theory, computation, and observational data to advance climate science understanding.
