Cristiana Stan

Professor

B.S. Physics, University of Bucharest, Romania, 1995

M.S. Atmospheric Physics, University of Bucharest, 1996

Ph.D Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University, 2005

Dr. Stan research interests center on climate modeling with a focus on the large-scale dynamics and predictability of tropical and midlatitude variability. Specific topics include the role of cloud representation in modeling the tropical cyclone activity, monsoon circulations, Madden-Julian Oscillation, and ENSO under current conditions and future climate change scenarios, tropical-extratropical teleconnections on intraseasonal time scale, and subseasonal-to-seasonal variability of the extratropics. She is also involved in the development of coupled climate models using super-parameterization for representing cloud-scale processes and applying ML/AI methods to climate data analysis.

Dr. Stan is the co-chair of the MJO and Teleconnections sub-project of the WMO/WWRP/WCRP/S2S Prediction Project, co-lead of the NOAA UFS Medium Range and S2S Application Team, and a member of the WCRP Joint Scientific Committee.
