Wan Wu

Wan Wu received the Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA, in 2007. He is currently a Research Physical Scientist with the NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA, USA. His graduate school research work focused on the design and development of the input optics subsystem for the laser interferometer and gravitational-wave observatory project. After graduation, he has worked on numerous atmospheric remote sensing projects, taking different roles from instrument engineering to data processing algorithm development. At the NASA Langley Research Center, he has worked on the development of the principal components radiative transfer model, the retrieval algorithm development for various hyperspectral sounder missions, including National Airborne Sounder Testbed Interferometer, Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer, Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder, Cross-track Infrared Sounder, the instrument design trade study for the Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) mission, and the intercalibration algorithm development for CLARREO Pathfinder project. His research interests include the exploration of novel approaches of using remote sensing data in weather and climate study.
