Profile:
Dr. Chuliang “Andy” Xiao is a former postdoctoral fellow with CIGLR and a lead data science analyst with Priority Health in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Before entering the health services sector, Dr. Xiao worked with large sets of meteorological data to create Great Lakes region climate models and focused on building models to predict climate change’s effects on Great Lakes water levels while working with CIGLR and Dr. Brent Lofgren of NOAA GLERL. Dr. Xiao received his Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences and his B.S. in meteorology from Nanjing University, Nanjing, China, additionally spending a semester at the University of Tokyo as an undergraduate.
