Edoardo Mazza, Ph.D.
University of Washington
Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean and Ecosystem Studies
Welcome!
I am a research scientist at the University of Washington Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean and Ecosystem Studies (CICOES), working with Dr. Andy Chiodi and Dr. Chidong Zhang on combined measurements of the Air-Sea Transition Zone (ASTZ) using uncrewed systems.
I received my Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences from the University of Washington in May 2022, under the supervision of Prof. Shuyi Chen and I was NRC postdoctoral fellow in 2023-2024.
My research focuses on observing and modeling the interaction of the atmosphere and ocean in the tropics. This involves examining phenomena like tropical cyclones and the Madden-Julian Oscillation to gain a better understanding of their role within the weather-climate continuum, their connection and feedback to the extra-tropics, and ultimately, their impact on society.

Professional Experience
In graduate school I served as a research assistant, teaching assistant and co-advisor for undergraduate students.
