Caroline Muller

Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics

Caroline Muller is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics at NYU Shanghai. She is also a CNRS researcher in France. She holds a Ph.D. from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at NYU. After her Ph.D., she worked as a postdoctoral associate at MIT and an associate research scholar at Princeton University, before joining the CNRS.

Professor Muller’s research interests lie in the fields of geophysical fluid dynamics and climate science. She is particularly interested in internal waves in the ocean and cloud processes in the atmosphere.

Her work has appeared in international peer-reviewed journals including Nature Climate Change, Journal of Climate, Journal of Geophysical Research, Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, Journal of Physical Oceanography and Geophysical Research Letters.

Professor Muller is also a lecturer in the geoscience department of the Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris, and she is the director of the Summer School on Fluid Dynamics of Sustainability and the Environment, co-organized by Ecole Polytechnique France and the University of Cambridge UK (fdse.org).
