co-Principal Investigator: Steven Greybush

Associate Professor of Meteorology, The Pennsylvania State University

Dr. Steven J. Greybush is an Associate Professor in the Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science and a Co-Hire of the Institute of Computational and Data Sciences (ICDS) at the Pennsylvania State University.  His research applies computational techniques such as computer simulations, data assimilation, ensembles, and machine learning to studying the weather of the earth and Mars, from snowstorms and other extreme weather to dust storms. He obtained his undergraduate degrees in meteorology and computer science from Penn State, and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Atmospheric and Oceanic Science from the University of Maryland.  His team produced the first ensemble reanalysis of the Martian atmosphere, which provides hourly maps of temperatures, wind, surface pressure, and dust across Mars for a period of over a decade.  He leads the executive team for the Penn State Center for Advanced Data Assimilation and Predictability Techniques (ADAPT), and is a member of the multi-university Consortium for Advanced Data Assimilation Research and Education (CADRE).
