ARROW researcher Julie Lundquist joins Johns Hopkins University as a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor
Lundquist, a national leader in research in sustainable energy generation from wind, will join Johns Hopkins University as a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Atmospheric Science and Wind Energy on July 1. She will hold primary appointments in the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the Whiting School of Engineering and in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. Lundquist will also be part of the Sustainable Transformations and Energy Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships (BDP) cluster.
“Julie Lundquist is a pioneering leader in the field of sustainable wind energy generation,” says Ray Jayawardhana, Johns Hopkins provost. “Her interdisciplinary approach, combining expertise in atmospheric science and engineering with innovative computational work in modeling atmosphere-wind energy interactions, will add terrific strengths to the Sustainable Transformations and Energy BDP cluster. We are excited to welcome this accomplished scholar to Johns Hopkins University and look forward to the impactful work she will accomplish here.”
The BDP clusters are faculty-developed interdisciplinary groups that are recruiting new BDPs and junior faculty members to Johns Hopkins to conduct transformational research in 10 crucial fields. The Sustainable Transformations and Energy cluster unites scientists, engineers, and market and policy experts with interests aligned toward solving critical technological and societal problems arising from the use of unsustainable chemicals and materials, fossil fuels, and other anthropogenic, environmentally harmful substances. The BDPs in this cluster will hold lead roles as part of the Ralph O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute (ROSEI), a nexus for sustainable energy-related research and educational programs at Johns Hopkins University.
