Understanding extreme weather in Antarctica
ExtAnt investigates extreme weather events in Antarctica, examining their causes including human activity, the ozone hole and greenhouse gases.
I am interested in physics-informed ML and applying a scientific understanding to modern deep learning algorithms.
During my PhD at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon and the Max Planck Institute of Meteorology, I developed SuperdropNet — a machine learning based emulator of Lagrangian cloud microphysics to improve the representation of clouds and precipitation in climate models.
I also worked on developing strategies to create hybrid models that couple atmospheric models with machine learning components. We have coupled SuperdropNet to the ICON weather model and continue to optimize computational efficiency to make hybrid models a reality.
