Prof. Majumdar earned his B.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Mathematics from Cambridge University. A chance meeting on a train in Australia ultimately led him into the atmospheric sciences as a postdoc at Penn State and then the faculty at the University of Miami, where he has been since 2002. In addition to conducting research with his staff and students, he teaches undergraduate courses in tropical meteorology, weather forecasting and atmospheric dynamics, and graduate courses in atmospheric science, hurricanes, and predictability.
