David M. Romps is a professor of climate physics in the Department of Earth and Planetary Science at UC Berkeley and a faculty scientist in the Climate and Ecosystem Sciences Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Prof. Romps studies the fundamental physics of climate and educates students and the public about global warming. He received a B.S. in math and a B.S./M.S. in physics from Yale University, and a Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University. Motivated by concerns about climate change, he left the field of string theory to work on climate policy at the Woods Hole Research Center and on atmospheric dynamics at Harvard's Center for the Environment. He then joined the faculty at UC Berkeley and currently teaches the popular course Introduction to Climate Change.
