Prof. De-Zheng Sun received his Ph.D. in Meteorology from MIT and has worked in leading climate modeling centers, including the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) at Princeton University, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), and through the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratories (ESRL) at Boulder. Currently, he is a Distinguished Professor at Nanjing University. His previous positions include serving as a Distinguished Professor at Fudan University and as a Senior Research Scientist at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), a joint institute between NOAA and the University of Colorado Boulder. His primary research interest lies in climate dynamics, with the goal of understanding and predicting the dynamic state of the Earth’s climate system, in particular, its stability and variability under anthropogenic forcing.
