Academic Achievements
- Author of more than 95 publications; Italian representative in the steering group of the European EC-Earth consortium; coordinating the CMIP6 and tuning working group of the EC-Earth consortium; scientific coordinator of the 'Alpine Summer School' (2008-2016); PI for ISAC-CNR in the H2020 project CRESCENDO and in the C3S Copernicus project MAGIC.
Research Experience
- Current work includes numerical simulations with the EC-Earth global climate model, with applications to the study of climate impacts in the Arctic, the Mediterranean and the Himalayan regions and the study of precipitation extremes. A complementary line of research is on dynamical climate downscaling, with the current implementation of a set of long very high resolution numerical experiments with the non-hydrostatic atmospheric model WRF. Other research interests pursued in the past years, which have led to several publications, are the development of mathematical models for soil-vegetation-atmosphere interactions in drylands, stochastic precipitation downscaling and the study of the dynamics and transport processes in turbulent and convective flows also using high-resolution parallel numerical codes.
Background
- Associate researcher at ISAC-CNR and full professor at Politecnico di Torino. His research activities are focused on modeling climate and the fundamental processes which regulate the system earth, particularly geophysical flows, biosphere-climate interactions, the hydrological cycle and the development and application of stochastic precipitation downscaling methods.
Miscellany
- Actively collaborating with different international colleagues, with frequent reciprocal study visits. In particular, in addition to the current collaboration with the EC-Earth consortium, he has been collaborating for years with groups at Ben-Gurion University, Israel and at Universite Paris VI, France.
