معرفی
Dr. Zhuo Wang is a Professor in the Department of Climate, Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and a faculty affiliate in the Center for Global Studies. Her research focuses on tropical meteorology and climate dynamics, including tropical cyclones, intraseasonal variability, and extreme weather events. She holds the Richard and Margaret Romano Professorial Scholar distinction (2020) and received the Distinguished Research/Technical Award from the American Meteorological Society (2022).
Education includes a Ph.D. in Meteorology from the University of Hawaii (2004), an M.S. in Meteorology (2000), and a B.S. in Atmospheric Sciences from Nanjing University (1997). Her work integrates atmospheric dynamics, climate predictability, and tropical-extratropical interactions to improve extreme event forecasting.
Recent research highlights include studies on Arctic cyclone intensity mechanisms, climate extremes' societal impacts, and tropical cyclone interactions with upper-tropospheric systems. She serves as Editor of the Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences (2017–2023), Associate Editor of the Monthly Weather Review, and chairs committees at the American Meteorological Society and World Meteorology Organization.
