Nan Chen Author

Nan Chen, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is also a Faculty Affiliate of the Institute for Foundations of Data Science. Dr. Chen received his Ph.D. from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and the Center of Atmosphere and Ocean Science at New York University.  Dr. Chen's research interests include contemporary applied mathematics, stochastic modeling, data assimilation, uncertainty quantification, geophysical fluids, dynamical systems, scientific computing, machine learning, and general data science. He is also active in developing both dynamical and stochastic models and uses these models to predict real-world phenomena related to atmosphere-ocean science, climate, geophysics, and many other complex systems such as the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), the monsoon, the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and the sea ice based on real observational data.  Dr. Chen's research work has been published in top journals in both applied mathematics and many interdisciplinary areas.
