Bio/Introduction

John L Keller, PhD, CCM

Dr. John L Keller’s career in atmospheric science research & development goes back to the early 1970s. As a Senior Research Meteorologist at AIR Worldwide in Boston, Dr. Keller developed and implemented a model for the extreme wind climate of Northwest Europe. This model is part of AIR's "EuroCAT" modeling system, widely used by the property and casualty insurance industry to manage climate risk. Prior to joining AIR Worldwide, Dr. Keller was a staff meteorologist at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, MA. At Lincoln, he provided scientific support for the FAA's Integrated Terminal Weather System and NASA's Wake Vortex Program. In 2005 Dr. Keller was the founding scientist of Weather Analytics (now Athenium Analytics), a company that provides data and analytical tools, including those for managing climate risk. In addition to giving numerous conference and public presentations, Dr. Keller has published in many scientific journals, including Nature, the Journal of Atmospheric Sciences and Monthly Weather Review
