Postdoctoral researcher in Atmospheric and Climate Sciences, jointly appointed at the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium and Université Catholique de Louvain.

My research focuses on climate variability and predictability across scales, atmospheric dynamics, land-atmosphere interactions, and hydro-climatological processes, combining observations, modelling, and machine-learning approaches.

• Climate variability
• Predictability
• Boundary-layer dynamics
• Land-atmosphere interactions
• Modelling
