Ian Grooms

I received a BS in Mathematics from the College of William & Mary in Virginia in 2005. In 2011 I received a PhD in Applied Mathematics from CU-Boulder. I was a postdoc at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at NYU from 2011 to 2015, and I joined the faculty of Applied Mathematics at CU-Boulder in the fall of 2015, where I have been tenured since 2022. My research interests encompass subgrid-scale parameterization for global ocean models, the development of new data assimilation methods, and the theory of geophysical fluid dynamics and turbulence. I am a lifetime member of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), and of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). I am a co-chair of the Community Earth System Model (CESM) Ocean Model Working Group, a member of the CLIVAR Ocean Model Development Panel, and an associate editor for the Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems. In 2025-2026 I am president-elect and in 2027-2028 I will be president of the Nonlinear Geophysics section of AGU.
