Dr. V. Krishnamurthy, Ph.D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985.

Senior Research Scientist, COLA, IGES

Professor of Climate Dynamics, George Mason University.

Dr. Krishnamurthy conducts research on the variability and predictability of monsoon and on the application of theory of chaos and nonlinear dynamical systems for climate studies. After receiving his doctorate, he worked at MIT, University of Maryland and International Centre for Theoretical Physics (Trieste). Current areas of research interest: Intraseasonal and interannual variability of the Indian monsoon and the American monsoons, predictability of monsoon in GCMs, monsoon-ocean relation, and chaos and error growth in large atmospheric dynamical systems.
