Biography

Zhiming Kuang is a Gordon McKay Professor of Atmospheric Environmental Science at Harvard College. His research focuses on understanding and simulating tropical convection and its interactions with large-scale atmospheric and ocean dynamics. This area of study is critical due to its implications for key weather patterns such as rainfall distribution and variability, which significantly impact millions of lives. Through the use of novel high-resolution numerical models and observational data analyses, Kuang guides the development of theoretical models that improve our understanding of these complex systems. His work addresses significant societal issues, including the effects of Asian monsoon variations that can lead to droughts and floods. In addition to these topics, he explores the meteorological implications of tropical convection and its role in global chemistry.
