Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoe Hollowed is a graduate student researcher in Physics at the University of Michigan and a MICDE fellow specializing in computational climate science and high-performance model development. He develops and evaluates simplified physical parameterizations and advection-based tracer methods for the DOE E3SM to attribute climate impacts from localized forcings like volcanic aerosol injections. With a background in cosmology and large-scale simulation work at Argonne National Laboratory, he brings a data-driven, simulation-first perspective to Earth system modeling. Joe combines strong software engineering and parallel computing skills with hands-on experience implementing idealized capabilities in production-scale climate models. He has a track record of bridging national-lab collaborations and academic research—contributing to CLDERA with Sandia collaborators—while pursuing a PhD focused on quantifying downstream climate impacts. An underappreciated strength is his history of applying machine-learning and image-analysis tools in experimental settings, showing versatility beyond traditional climate modeling.
