Profile
Affiliation(s):
MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change;
MIT Center for Global Change Science
Education:
B.Sc., Atmospheric Physics, Peking University, 1982
M.S., Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, and Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Science, 1985

Research Interests:
Dr. Wang's research interests include cloud dynamics and microphysics, interactions between cloud-scale and large-scale processes, and atmospheric chemistry. He has developed a three-dimensional modeling system to simulate the dynamical, microphysical, and chemical processes of clouds, especially of deep convective clouds. He is also working on a global-scale interactive chemistry and climate model and using this model to study the sensitivity of climate change to atmospheric chemical processes.
