Dr. Jun Wang joined the University of Nebraska – Lincoln as an assistant professor in 2007. He received his Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences from the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2005 and his postdoctoral training from Harvard University in 2005 – 2007. He also worked as a visiting faculty in Lab for Atmospheres, the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Jan - Aug 2008, and as a visiting scientist in Climate and Dynamics division at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Apr. - Aug. 2009. His research interests are the impacts of aerosol pollution on air quality, weather, and climate. His research approaches include satellite remote sensing, meteorology-chemistry coupled modeling, data assimilation, and integration of these elements. He is an author of ~20 research articles in peer-reviewed journals since 2003, and a reviewer for a dozen of research journals. The hornors Dr. Wang receveid include NCAR visiting faculty fellowship (2009), NASA Earth Science New Investigator Award (2008), NASA GSFC Yoram Kaufman Visiting Fellowship (2008), NOAA Climate and Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowship (2005-2007), NASA Earth System Science Graduate Student Fellowship (2004 - 2005), and the best student poster award from American Meteorological Society (2003).
