Summary:

Lorenzo Zampieri is a scientist working on implementing machine-learning sea ice and ocean wave models within the AIFS framework.

During his career, his research focused on problems related to sea ice prediction and predictability, thermodynamic parameterization development, reanalyses evaluation and correction, geoengineering strategies for sea ice, and more. After completing his PhD at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) in Bremerhaven, Germany, under the supervision of Prof. Thomas Jung and Dr. Helge Goessling, he did a postdoc at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado, collaborating with Dr. Marika Holland.
