POSITION

Post-doc Research Scientist

WORK EXPERIENCE
Research Scientist, CMCC, Bologna, Italy.

2011i‒ Present

Worked in the Climate Simulation and Prediction Division of the CMCC conducting research on
seasonal and decadal predictability, extratropical teleconnections, atmospheric blocking and eddydriven jet variability. Currently involved with a leading role in a number of European Projects(PRIMAVERA, COPERNICUS, BLUE-ACTION, WINDSURFER).
Post-doc Research Associate, University of Athens, AM&WFG, Greece.
Worked at the Atmospheric Modeling & Weather Forecasting Group.
Research Associate, University of Washington / JISAO.

2009i‒ 2011

Identified patterns of jet-stream variability and examined their relation to storm-track variability andforcing. Analyzed potential vorticity variability near the tropopause and studied extratropicalinterannual sea surface temperature variability.
Research Associate, University of Washington / JISAO.

2007i‒ 2009

Identified patterns of jet-stream variability and examined their relation to storm-track variability andforcing. Analyzed potential vorticity variability near the tropopause.
