Hi! I’m Howard Qin from Shanghai and Vancouver, Canada. I’m currently pursuing a coterminal MS in Sustainability at Stanford University, where I graduated in 2024 with a BS in Mathematics and double minors in Physics and Music.

My graduate advisor is Prof. Steven Chu, 1997 Nobel Physics laureate and former US Secretary of Energy (2009-2013).

I’ve been monitoring daily weather since 2012, and I’m the youngest-ever member of the Canadian Meteorological & Oceanographical Society (CMOS). I’m passionate about working in climate tech and climate finance.

Musically, I play the oboe, compose, and conduct. My other hobbies include hiking, golfing, skiing, dancing, and bartending.
