Weixing Shen designed and developed a physical model for hurricane intensity research and prediction, and expounded the role of hurricane eye's size in affecting potential hurricane intensity.
THE WOODLANDS, TX, October 17, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Marquis Who's Who, the world's premier publisher of biographical profiles, is proud to Weixing Shen, Ph.D., with the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award. An accomplished listee, Dr. Shen celebrates many years' experience in his professional network, and has been noted for achievements, leadership qualities, and the credentials and successes he has accrued in his field. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Dr. Shen began his career as a research assistant at the State University of New York at Stony Brook from 1991 to 1995. After this opportunity, he worked for the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, progressing from postdoctoral researcher to assistant marine scientist from 1996 to 2001. From 2001 to 2005, he was active as a visiting scientist for the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research in Camp Springs, MD. Following this appointment, he served as a research scientist at the University of Maryland in College Park from 2005 to 2007. He contributed to Saracen Energy in Houston, TX, as a senior quantitative trading analyst from 2007 to 2008. Dr. Shen has been a senior quantitative trading analyst and meteorologist at Repsol USA in The Woodlands, TX, since 2008.
Prior to embarking on his career, Dr. Shen received a Bachelor of Science in meteorology from Hanzhou University, now part of Zhejiang University, in China in 1984. Following this accomplishment, he earned a Master of Science in atmospheric dynamics from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing in 1987. Dr. Shen concluded his education with a Doctor of Philosophy from the State University of New York in 1995.
In the 27-year span of his career, Dr. Shen has had a number of achievements. He designed and developed a physical model for hurricane intensity research and prediction, and expounded the role of hurricane eye's size in affecting potential hurricane intensity. He pioneered in modeling land surface water's influence on landfall hurricanes and hurricane-land surface water interactions; The model experiments performed by him and his collaborators at NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States Department of Commence) and University of Rhode Island demonstrated that climate change's impact on hurricane intensity is minor. He also actively participated in researching and improving the operational GFDL hurricane-ocean coupled forecasting system at NOAA's National Weather Service. He is a chapter author of the book "Hurricanes and Typhoons: Past, Present, and Future" (Columbia University Press, 2004). Early in his career, Dr. Shen developed a numerical model for tropical wave research and investigated environmental circulation-associated zonal variability of transient atmospheric waves in the tropics by using his model. He and his collaborators at Stony Brook University also proposed a new mechanism for nonlinear response of stratospheric Quasi-Biennial Oscillation's cycle to tropospheric wave forcing and possibly sea surface temperature changes; In 2002, he was named Environmental Hero by NOAA. Dr. Shen has previously been selected for inclusion in the 10th edition of Who's Who in Science and Engineering and multiple editions of Who's Who in America and Who's Who in the World.
In recognition of outstanding contributions to his profession and the Marquis Who's Who community, Dr. Shen has been featured on the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement website. Please visit www.ltachievers.com for more information about this honor.
