Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosh Jacobson is a Visiting Assistant Professor and PhD candidate in Statistics with nine years of research and industry experience applying spatial and spatio-temporal methods to climate and environmental problems. Trained in applied mathematics at the University of Colorado Boulder and currently completing doctoral work at the University of Wollongong, he blends Bayesian inference, computational statistics, and big-data workflows to tackle real-world climate questions. His experience spans academia and industry, including multiple roles at Jupiter Intelligence where he converted climate data into deployable insights. Based in Boulder, he balances teaching and research with practical data-science product experience, and his work often emphasizes scalable computation for high-resolution environmental datasets. An undercurrent of his profile is a strong focus on translating advanced statistical theory into tools and analyses that inform climate risk and decision-making.
