Senior🎓
Top SchoolMiguel Solano is a tropical cyclone subject-matter expert and research scientist with ~8–10 years building coupled ocean–wave–atmosphere forecasting systems and operational wind and flood models for underwriting and catastrophe risk. He holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and has led data-assimilative, multi-scale simulation efforts (MOM6–WW3–FV3Shield) in cloud HPC, translating advanced fluid dynamics and air–sea interaction research into production-ready, validated models. At Stand he owns end-to-end peril pipelines, while prior roles at Sofar Ocean, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, and universities delivered novel parameterizations and global ocean forecasting capabilities. Known for rigorous, validation-driven modeling, he blends hands-on numerical implementation with cross-disciplinary collaboration to make physics actionable for asset-level decisions. Bilingual in English and Spanish, he pairs scientific depth with clear communication to drive resilience to climate risk.
