Vincent Larson

Professor Vincent Larson, affiliated with the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Wisconsin — Milwaukee, serves as Data Science Internship Coordinator and Program Coordinator for the Statistics Research Group. He holds a PhD from MIT and a BA in Physics from Yale.

• PhD, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1999)
• BA in Physics, Yale University (1992)

Larson's research focuses on cloud simulations, computational fluid dynamics, Monte Carlo methods, and parameter estimation. His work explores turbulence-cloud interactions, microphysical processes, and numerical accuracy in Earth System Models.

• Developed CLUBB GPUization for performance portability in turbulence parameterization
• Coordinated Climate Process Team grants (2010–2015) across 6 institutions
• Collaborated with Fachhochschule Aachen on dual-degree Master's programs

His publications (over 87) emphasize cloud dynamics, precipitation modeling, and subgrid-scale representations in climate models. Larson has held visiting fellowships at NCAR and maintains affiliations with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Colorado State University's CIRA.
