Spacetech: Lessons Learned From Discovery to Market Round Table, 2.45 p.m.
Computational Oceanographer & Professor, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Jackson School of Geosciences, The University of Texas at Austin
Patrick is a computational oceanographer and W. A. “Tex” Moncrief, Jr., chair in Simulation-Based Engineering and Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. He works at the intersection of physical oceanography, glaciology, and computational science. His research focuses on ocean and ice dynamics and their role in the global climate system. He is an expert in the use of inverse and data science methods applied to ocean and ice model parameter and state estimation, uncertainty quantification and observing system design. Among others, Patrick is a member of the UNESCO/IOC Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) Steering Committee, the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) Lighthouse Activity on Explaining and Predicting Earth System Change, and the NASA Sea Level Change Science Team (N-SLCT). Before joining UT Austin in 2015, Patrick spent 17 years in MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences where he has led differentiable programming approaches applied to global ocean climate modeling. He earned his Ph.D. in 1998 from the Max-Planck-Institute for Meteorology and the University of Hamburg, Germany.
Patrick Heimbach will participate in the Spacetech: Lessons Learned From Discovery to Market Round Table.
