Robb Jnglin Wills leads the Climate Dynamics Group at ETH Zurich. He obtained his PhD in 2016 from the California Institute of Technology and had research appointments at ETH Zurich, University of Washington, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research before his appointment as assistant professor at ETH in 2023. Robb and his group use a combination of climate modeling, physics-based theoretical understanding, and data science methods to pursue research on a broad range of topics in climate science. Current topics of interest include: mechanisms determining the pattern of tropical climate variability and change, the up-scale influence of mesoscale processes on large-scale dynamics, future changes in climate variability, and statistical methods for separating forced and unforced components of climate change. These research topics are part of a broader mission to understand how global climate change manifests at the regional scale, in order to better contextualize extreme weather events in the modern climate and help society prepare for regional climate trends in the coming decades.
