Jonathan Weyn is a data scientist at Microsoft who applies machine learning to advance medium-range to sub-seasonal weather forecasting, building on a PhD in Atmospheric Sciences from the University of Washington. With eight years of experience spanning graduate research and operational ML work, he specializes in deep convolutional neural networks for ensemble forecasts and studies of predictability and error growth. His background in physics and hands-on research—from drought-driven vegetation regime shifts to severe-weather predictability—gives him a strong quantitative foundation and a pragmatic sense for real-world forecasting challenges. Based in Redmond, he blends academic rigor with production-focused ML development, translating atmospheric science insights into scalable forecasting solutions. A lifelong weather enthusiast, he brings both domain passion and proven technical depth to improving how we predict the atmosphere.
