Senior🎓
Top SchoolKrishna Kumar is a veteran program manager and senior program scientist with over three decades of combined operational and research experience in meteorology, climate studies, and numerical weather prediction across NOAA, NASA, and major Indian research institutes. He currently coordinates NOAA’s Earth Prediction Innovation Center (EPIC) and leads cloud and HPC transition efforts to accelerate research-to-operations for the Unified Forecast System, while also chairing the OAR Cloud Tiger Team. His background uniquely blends hands-on NWP software engineering and operational system implementation—he was a key architect of real-time GFS forecast divergence systems, GRIB2 parallel projects, and radar data ingestion pipelines—together with program-level leadership of multi-task satellite and AI-enabled data assimilation initiatives. A published scientist and journal reviewer, he routinely bridges advanced research (observing systems, DA, AI) with operational deployment and competitive program creation. Based in College Park, MD, he pairs deep domain science (PhD in atmospheric sciences) with practical experience running large cross-organizational contracts and incubators that move emerging technologies into practice.
