Paolo Giani

Paolo Giani develops and runs numerical models to understand how the atmosphere works across different scales, from global-scale dynamics to local aspects of weather, climate and air quality. He is a postdoctoral researcher with the MIT Climate Grand Challenges Flagship Project: Bringing Computation to the Climate Challenge (BC3) with the goal of contributing to the development of a digital twin of the Earth and making climate predictions more practical for communities and stakeholders. He has worked in different research institutions and contributed to the development of atmospheric models to support policy decisions and provide solutions for current environmental challenges, including air quality, wind energy deployment and climate change.  He received his PhD at the University of Notre Dame, where he studied boundary layer turbulence to couple Numerical Weather Prediction models and Large Eddy Simulations.
