Xian Wu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sustainable Earth Systems Sciences at the University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas), within the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Their research focuses on climate variability and predictability, ocean-atmosphere interactions, and improving climate models using numerical simulations and observations. They currently lead the Climate Dynamics and Prediction Lab, examining Earth system predictions and their impacts on human activities.
Education: PhD in Geological Sciences from The University of Texas at Austin (2020), BS in Atmospheric Sciences from Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology (2015).
Research interests include climate dynamics, climate prediction, and the development of Earth system models. Key areas of study involve ENSO variability, decadal predictability, and the impacts of volcanic eruptions on climate systems.
Awards:
- Advanced Study Program Postdoctoral Fellowship (NSF NCAR, 2020)
- Outstanding Student Presentation Award (AGU, 2019)
Advising & Grants: Currently accepting PhD students for Fall 2026. Active in mentoring and guiding research on climate dynamics and prediction.
Labs/Teams: Director of the Climate Dynamics and Prediction Lab at UT Dallas, focusing on ocean-atmosphere interactions, Earth system modeling, and climate predictability at seasonal to decadal scales.
