Background

About Eric Wolf

I, Eric Wolf, am a scientific researcher, working at the intersection of scientific computing, quantitative analysis, climate science, planetary science, high performance computing, and analysis of large complex data sets. I hold a BS in Astronomy and a PhD in Atmospheric and Oceanic Science with a focus on 3D climate modeling, analysis and prediction. To date I have published over 40 peer reviewed scientific papers which have been cited ~2200 times, I have presented at dozens of international conferences, and have won over 10 NASA funded research grants. I am an adept computer programmer, problem solver, public speaker, and writer, with strong capabilities in both self guided work and in team collaborative environments. Indeed, one must wear many hats to succeed in the world of publicly funded research science. Computing Experience and Skills: • Extensive professional programming experience. • Primary languages: Fortran 77, Fortran 90, IDL • Secondary languages: C++, MatLab, Python, NCL • Extensive experience using high performance supercomputers Quantitative Experience and Skills: • Extensive professional experience as a computational climate scientist. • Extensive work in model development and support of large scientific numerical climate models and radiative transfer models. • Extensive experience analyzing large data sets and synthesizing information into meaningful published scientific content. • Extensive experience in visualizing large scale climate data sets and numerical model outputs using IDL software. Communication Experience and Skills: • Demonstrated success writing and winning NASA research proposals. • Written over 40 peer reviewed publications in scientific journals including 12 first author publications. • Given numerous invited and contributed scientific talks at conferences and University seminars • An adept team-player, part of several large research collaborative initiatives and numerous collaborative papers, proposals, and projects. • Experience mentoring students and junior team members
