Dr. Jakir Hossen is a Project Scientist in the Hurricane Research Division of the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML). His research is to evaluate the impact of proposed and existing observation systems on analyses and forecasts of the ocean by assimilating in situ and remote sensing observations. Besides his experiences working with Data assimilation methods, he is interested in machine learning algorithms to estimate parameters of physical processes to improve weather forecasting.
