Jessica Wan

Jessica Wan is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Climate Systems Engineering initiative at The University of Chicago. Her research aims to understand how climate engineering proposals might reduce regional climate impacts by combining interdisciplinary analysis frameworks and modeling tools ranging from global climate models to AI emulators.

Prior to joining UChicago, Jessica received her Ph.D. in Earth Sciences from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego where her work focused on modeling the effects to regional marine cloud brightening. While completing her graduate degree, Jessica was a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate fellow and an Achievement Rewards for College Scientists scholar. She also holds a B.S. in Environment & Sustainability from Cornell University.
