Jinbo Wang

Dr. Wang specializes in physical oceanography, geophysical fluid dynamics, and
satellite oceanography. His research focuses on the role of the upper ocean in the
Earth’s climate system, particularly on small-scale processes that are not
accounted for in low-resolution climate models or conventional satellite altimetry.
Prior to joining Texas A&M University (TAMU), he worked on the Surface Water
and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission and led its mission validation field
campaigns. His research approach combines theory, simulations, and
observations. He had co-chaired the U.S. CLIVAR POS panel and several working
groups related to SWOT, upper-ocean submesoscale processes, and the
application of machine learning in oceanography.

We invite motivated students to join our lab as undergraduate researchers or PhD candidates.
