Lei Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, Planetary Sciences at Purdue University. His research primarily focuses on large-scale atmospheric dynamics, including climate change, extreme weather events, and intraseasonal atmospheric variabilities. Wang's work emphasizes the fundamental dynamics of mid-latitude atmospheric waves, particularly the high-impact extreme weather and climate events that significantly affect communities. He utilizes theoretical and idealized numerical models to explore atmospheric processes, including jetstream dynamics and the weather-climate continuum. Wang actively seeks to recruit graduate students interested in these research areas, particularly those with strong backgrounds in mathematics and physics. He encourages students majoring in atmospheric sciences to apply for opportunities within his lab, which are designed to broaden their education through programs such as Purdue's Computational Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs.
