- I'm a postdoctoral researcher working on weather and climate extremes at the Instituto de Geociecias (UCM-CSIC) in the Physics of Climate and Global Change group.
- My interests and expertese revolve arround the field of climate dynamics and modelling, from weather to climate timescales.
- I am interested in using physical models (Global Climate Models (GCMs) and Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models) as well as newly developed Machine Learning (ML) atmospheric models to understand the predictability and climate change impact on atmopsheric circulation and extremes.
- I pay special interest on subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) timesecales (2 weeks to several months) as those show quite low predictability - know as predicatbility dessert.
- I have also extensive experience in running idealized numerical models, which help us to isolate physical processes, for example related to teleconnections or weather extremes.
