About me

Hi, and welcome to my website! I am an atmospheric scientist interested in a wide variety of phenomena shaping Earth’s weather and climate. My research focuses on shallow clouds, solar and terrestrial radiation, cloud-radiative interactions and feedbacks, as well as tropical cyclone dynamics. To study these challenging topics I use mathematical theory, observations and a hierarchy of numerical models ranging from detailed radiative transfer and cloud-resolving models to global climate models.

Within the World Climate Research Programme’s Fresh Eyes on Coupled Model Intercomparison Project initiative I’m currently steering a worldwide group of early-career researchers striving to advance data analysis tools for the next generation of climate models. I furthermore serve as a topic editor for the European Geosciences Union’s journal Geoscientific Model Development, where I support the progress of a wide range of models applicable in geoscience community. I’m also engaged in science outreach activities and communicating climate change on board of the RESCCCUE team.

If you share any of these research interests and concerns, and would want to chat or collaborate with me, feel free to reach out to me via Email or Twitter/X.
