Strengthening collaborations on Earth system science between UIUC and Argonne National Laboratory

Dr. Jiwen Fan, Deputy Division Director of the Environmental Science Division (EVS) and Argonne Distinguished Fellow at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), will give a seminar aiming at fostering stronger collaboration between the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and ANL. She will provide an overview of the core competencies and cutting-edge capabilities of the EVS/ANL. She will also share her latest research endeavors in model developments for DOE’s Exascale Energy Earth System Model (E3SM) with ML/AI and physical understandings of severe storms (i.e., Derechos and hailstorms). Dr. Fan will discuss potential avenues for collaboration, including: the development and application of AI/ML models for environmental and Earth system research; investigating interactions between agriculture, biology, and the atmosphere, advancing the understanding of complex weather systems, promoting resilience and sustainability in response to climate challenges
