Short biography
I started to work on climate variability at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain) in 1992, where I did my PhD in physics. I worked as a postdoc in Météo-France (Toulouse), at the Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aerospacial (Torrejón, Spain) and for ten years at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (Reading, UK). I was group leader at the Institut Català de Ciències del Clima from 2010 to 2015. I now lead the Department of Earth Sciences of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), which hosts more than 170 engineers, and natural and social scientists working on supercomputing and data analysis to provide the best information and services on climate and air quality. I am author of more than 200 peer-reviewed papers (h index 73, Google Scholar), lead author of the Fifth and Sixth Assessment Reports of the IPCC, member of several international scientific committees and advisory boards, and direct supervisor of around 30 postdocs, engineers and PhD students.
