Baylor Fox-Kemper (CV)

Since August, 2007, I have been an assistant professor in the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES, more info) at the University of Colorado at Boulder. I also teach in the Department of Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (ATOC).

Before coming to Boulder, I worked with Raffaele Ferrari as a research scientist at MIT. Before that, I worked with Geoff Vallis at Princeton and GFDL. Part of my work with Geoff and Raf was supported by a NOAA Fellowship (managed by UCAR). Before that, I got my Ph.D. from the MIT/WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography working with Paola Rizzoli (at MIT) and Joe Pedlosky (at WHOI). Before specializing in oceanography, I trained in physics at Reed with Nick Wheeler and at Brandeis with X.-J. Wang.

Students

Scott is a geology grad student who joined the group on this project.

Samantha Stevenson

Sam is an ATOC grad student who joined the group as a CIRES graduate student fellow in 2008. Sam is now a NASA NESSF fellow. Urbino Summer School in Paleoclimatology Poster, 2008. ATOC Poster Conference, 2008. 2008 AGU Handout, CIRES Rendezvous, 2009.

Adrean Webb

Adrean is graduate student in applied math who started working with the group under a CIRES innovative research proposal in the summer of 2008. ATOC Poster Conference, 2008, CIRES Rendezvous, 2009. He is now continuing on this project.

Erik Baldwin-Stevens

Erik is an Aerospace Engineering Master's student who joined the group on this project and this project. Erik also works with Kantha.

Andrew Margolin

Andrew is an undergraduate geology major/atmospheric and oceanic sciences minor. He started with the group in Spring 2009 on this project. Andrew is beginning in Fall 2009 on this project. Andrew was awarded the 2010 Colorado Science Scholarship.

Aaron Zettler-Mann

Aaron Zettler-Mann is an undergraduate Geography major who joined us in the Fall of 2009. He is currently working on an honors thesis project examining the potential effects of wave energy converters on near-shore environments.

Past Members

Theodore Jamieson

Teddy worked with us as an undergraduate math student. He started as a UROP in Fall 2008 and worked on an NSF REU on this project in Spring 2009. Teddy has gone on to an internship with the Environmental Protection Agency.

Interested in joining?

*UPDATE* A postdoctoral position in multiscale ocean modeling is available in 2009-2010 academic year. Applications are being accepted here and now.

Potential or current graduate students at the University of Colorado may contact Baylor with questions. They should check out graduate student fellowships, too: NSF, NASA (GSRP and NESSF), Ford Foundation, AMS, DOD NDSEG, DOD SMART, DOE SCGF, ASEE, DOE (GREF, CSGF, and HPCSF), Hertz, NRC RAP, NPSC, Foster scholars, and CIRES (GSRF and CIRES/ESRL).

Undergraduates interested in research projects can also contact Baylor. Funding may be available through a UROP, an NSF REU, AMS, NOAA Hollings (apply while a sophomore), or DOD SMART fellowship. Summer research opportunites include NREIP.

Postdoctoral investigators interested in research projects can also contact Baylor. Funding may be available through a NSF, NOAA, NRC RAP, Ford Foundation, L'Oreal, or CIRES fellowship.
