About
As a climate scientist, my interest is in how climate models mimic the physical processes and mechanisms underpinning the climate system’s variability and how they might respond to global warming. Evaluation of model outputs using a process-based approach gives direction to the model developers to address biases in the next versions of the models and to improve the plausibility of projected changes.
In addition, I'm interested in the potential of combining Complex Network Analysis and Machine Learning to understand the intricate dynamics of climate change. I believe they can play a crucial role in unraveling the complex interactions within the climate system.
