Kuo-Nan Liou, a UCLA distinguished professor of atmospheric sciences and the founding director of the Joint Institute for Regional Earth System Science and Engineering (JIFRESSE), died March 20 at his home in Los Angeles after a brief illness. He was 77.
“Kuo-Nan was a great scientist and an outstanding leader, who had a profound impact on science and on UCLA. We will miss him greatly,” said Miguel Garcia-Garibay, dean of the UCLA Division of Physical Sciences.
A former chair of UCLA’s department of atmospheric and oceanic sciences, Liou joined UCLA’s faculty in 1997, after a 22-year faculty career at the University of Utah.
