Laure Zanna

Laure Zanna is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the Courant Institute, New York University. Her research focuses on the dynamics of the climate system, combining theory, numerical simulations, statistics, and machine learning to study ocean turbulence, ocean heat and carbon uptake, and sea-level rise. Since 2020 she leads M²LInES, an international collaboration dedicated to improving climate models with scientific machine learning, and in 2026 became founding director of the Simons Center for Computational Geophysical Flows at NYU.
