Shuyi S. Chen
Associate Professor of Meteorology and Physical Oceanography

Biography
Dr. Chen obtained her Ph.D. in Meteorology at Pennsylvania State University (1990), M.S. at University of Oklahoma (1985), and B.S. at Peking University (1982).

Research Interests
Mesoscale and tropical meteorology, atmospheric convection, air-sea interactions, coupled atmosphere-wave-ocean modeling of tropical cyclones, coastal meteorology, and numerical weather prediction.
