Asst. Prof. Xiaozhou Ruan named 2023 Hariri Institute Research Fellow

Assistant Professor Xiaozhou Ruan has been named a 2023 Junior Faculty Fellow by the Hariri Institute at BU! As the Institute noted, “Dr. Ruan’s research develops novel parameterizations of small-scale ocean physics into global climate models. These parameterizations have far-reaching implications for modeling the Earth’s climate system.”

The Hariri Institute has awarded six Junior Faculty Fellows and seven Graduate Student Fellows, representing early-career faculty and exemplary doctoral students who are pursuing innovative computationally-driven research with the potential for high impact. The 2023 cohort of fellows represent a variety of colleges and schools across Boston University. They are applying computational methods and tools to address complex challenges in diverse fields spanning including astronomy, biostatistics, computer science, earth & environment, engineering, emerging media, genetics and genomics, neurology, psychological sciences and more.
