Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathanael Wong is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at NYU Courant Institute with eight years of experience probing tropical and subtropical convection and its coupling to large-scale atmospheric circulation. His PhD work at Harvard combined idealized modeling and isotopologue observations to unpack convection over the East Pacific, and he has taught climate physics and mathematical modeling at the university level. A Julia convert and advocate, he consults on Earth Observation workflows and has presented on JuliaEO internationally, bridging computational tools with climate science. Nathanael’s research also explores how islands modulate convection—a niche that links theory, observations, and practical implications for tropical dynamics. Based in Jersey City, he brings a rare blend of hands-on data analysis, teaching experience, and tool-building for reproducible climate research.
