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 Earth system 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 scenarios, tropical-extratropical teleconnections on intraseasonal time scale, and subseasonal-to-seasonal variability of the extratropics. She is also involved in development and application of ML/AI methods to geophysical data analysis.

Dr. Stan is the Vice-chair of the WCRP Joint Scientific Committee (JSC), Co-lead of the NOAA UFS Medium Range and S2S Application Team, and member of the Scientific Steering Group of the WWRP/Sub-seasonal to Seasonal for Agriculture (SAGE) project.
