Nick Weber is Head of Weather at Citadel, bringing nine years of atmospheric science experience and a PhD from the University of Washington to applied weather research for commodities trading. He specializes in subseasonal prediction and improving forecasts with convection-permitting simulations, translating advanced research into operational platforms that support high-stakes decision making. At Citadel he has progressed from Weather Associate to Head of Weather, leading both forecasting operations and weather data platform development. His academic work includes extended convection-permitting model experiments at NCAR and research on the Madden–Julian Oscillation, reflecting deep expertise from mesoscale to subseasonal timescales. Based in Seattle, he combines rigorous numerical modeling skills with practical production experience—an uncommon blend that accelerates research-to-production impact. Outside core research, he has a track record of managing end-to-end data and product workflows, including Antarctic meteorological operations early in his career.
