About me
![chengda_at_riken](chengda_at_riken.jpg)
I am currently a post-doctoral associate at Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO), NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and UMD ESSIC. I am working with Dr. Stephen G. Penny and Drs. Eric Hackert and Santha Akella on coupled data assimilation since 2022.
I obtained my Ph.D. on Atmospheric and Oceanic Science from the University of Maryland College Park in 2022 under the advisory of Prof. Eugenia Kalnay and Dr. Tse-chun Chen. Before that, I earned my M.S. and B.S. in Meteorology from Florida State University.
My full passion is on data assimilation for the Earth system, since data assimilation combines the knowledge of Earth system modeling, remote sensing and predictability all together, bringing me triple pleasure.
