Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Sulman is a Staff Research Associate and ecosystem-climate modeler with nine years of experience developing and deploying advanced carbon and nitrogen cycle components for global land models. He led conception and implementation of new soil carbon and terrestrial nitrogen modules in GFDL’s land model (now used in CMIP-class ESMs) and currently contributes to DOE’s E3SM. Proficient in Python, Matlab, and Fortran, he couples large-scale data analysis with high-performance model development and has published in top journals including Nature Climate Change. His work spans ecosystem flux measurements to multiprocessor global simulations, and he has a knack for translating field observatory insights into scalable model improvements. Based in Knoxville, Tennessee, he blends rigorous academic training (Ph.D. UW–Madison) with hands-on coding and interdisciplinary collaboration across national labs and universities.
