Ping Jing, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the School of Environmental Sustainability at Loyola University Chicago. Her research focuses on climate change impacts on atmospheric dynamics, particularly Rossby wave breaking and ozone climate penalties in the Midwest. She has mentored over 20 undergraduate students and leads projects funded by NASA and NSF.
Education: PhD in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (Georgia Tech, 2004), MS in Atmospheric Environment (Chinese Academy of Meteorological Science, 1999), BS in Atmospheric Physics (Nanjing Institute of Meteorology, 1996).
Research interests include atmospheric dynamics, air pollution in urban environments, and the interplay between weather patterns and ozone regulation. Recent work highlights the role of air stagnation and tropical weather patterns in ozone concentration shifts, emphasizing the need for stricter emissions controls.
Selected awards include the 2024 St. Ignatius Loyola Award for Excellence in Teaching and the 2013 Provost’s Award for Freshman Teaching. She is affiliated with the American Geophysical Union and the American Meteorological Society.
Teaching includes courses like ENVS 200 (Environmental Careers) and ENVS 224 (Climate Change). Research spans ozone variability, Rossby wave dynamics, and urban air quality, with a focus on Chicago and the Midwest.
