He received his Ph.D. in physics in 2002 from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. He then served as a postdoctoral scholar at Caltech working at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and a lecturer at UCLA. His research focuses broadly on understanding atmospheric composition and physics in relation to stratospheric ozone, climate change and air quality. He works closely with policymakers to make sure the best available science is used to develop effective pollution control strategies. He recently became a faculty fellow in the Smith Enterprise Risk Consortium.\nJames Hyde the manager of the Maryland Mesonet, a statewide network of rapid-sampling weather stations designed to enhance severe weather monitoring, forecasting, and data collection. He received his M.S. in emergency management from North Dakota State University in 2017.\n\n
