David Romps is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Science at UC Berkeley and a Faculty Scientist in the Earth Sciences Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Motivated by concerns about climate change, he left the field of string theory to work on climate policy at the Woods Hole Research Center and atmospheric dynamics at Harvard’s Center for the Environment.In 2011, David joined the faculty at UC Berkeley, where his group studies Earth’s atmosphere and climate from a combination of first-principles fluid dynamics, computer simulation, and observations.

David received his B.S. in math and B.S./M.S. in physics from Yale University and received his Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University.
