Peidong Wang

My name is Peidong Wang (王沛东), I am now a transitional postdoctoral researcher working with Dr. Susan Solomon at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with whom I also completed my PhD. My doctoral research focuses on detecting and understanding the processes that drive stratospheric ozone variability.

I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I double majored in Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences and Applied Mathematics, with a minor (certificate) in Computer Science. During that time, I was advised by Dr. Tracey Holloway.

Starting in Fall 2025, I will be a Stanford Science Fellow and begin my postdoctoral research with Dr. Noah Diffenbaugh at Stanford University.
