Alexander Wikner

I am a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Geophysical Sciences and a member of the Climate Extremes Theory and Data (CeTD) group. Before coming to UChicago, I received my Ph.D. and M.S. in Physics from the University of Maryland, where my thesis focused on hybridizing scientific knowledge-based models with machine learning to accurately forecast high-dimensional chaotic systems. I was also a fellow in the Computation and Mathematics for Biological Networks (COMBINE) NSF NRT program at the University of Maryland. Beginning in September 2024, I will be a fellow in the Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship program.
