Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnna Jaruga is a Senior Research Scientist at CliMA/Caltech with 13 years of experience developing and testing numerical representations of aerosols, clouds, and precipitation across scales. She combines deep physics and numerical modeling expertise from a PhD in physics with hands-on open-source software development, co-authoring libmpdata++ and libcloudph++ used for cloud microphysics and transport. Her work spans cloud microphysics parameterizations, turbulence and convection in climate models, and she has applied these skills at Caltech, JPL, and in academia. Enthusiastic about open science and communication, she has led grant-funded research, taught atmospheric thermodynamics, and presented science to public audiences. Less obvious: she brings production-grade software engineering practices to research code, including automated testing and object-oriented design, helping bridge prototypes to reusable community tools.
