 **Bio**: Alba obtained her bachelor degree in Mathematics from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB). She holds a PhD in Environmental Engineering from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) – Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (2019-2014) and an MSc in Applied Mathematical Sciences with Climate Change Impacts Modeling from the Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh (2019). Her PhD entitled "Implementation, Development and Evaluation of the Gas-phase Chemistry within the Global/Regional NMMB/BSC Chemical Transport Model (NMMB/BSC-CTM, now MONARCH) (2009-2014) " was funded by the FPI-UPC grant. Her previous postdoctoral research was focused on quantifying the importance of reactive halogens and very-short-lived halocarbons in the marine atmosphere using the regional model WRF-Chem in the Environmental Department at the University of East Anglia (UEA), and the climate model CAM-Chem in the department of Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). She also worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals (ICTA-UAB) studying how green infrastructures (in various forms from peri-urban agriculture to green roofs) impact the urban atmosphere (e.g. humidity, temperature, and air quality) using the WRF and WRF-Chem models coupled with urban canopy models. She has recently jointed the BSC to advance research in the role of natural emissions from vegetation and soil on air quality with the focus on ozone chemistry and secondary particle formation. **Bio**: Alba obtained her bachelor degree in Mathematics from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB).

 +{{:working_groups:meta-portrait-improved-cropped.png?100 |}}
 +** Postdoctoral Researcher ** \\
 +**Interests:** Artificial Intelligence, Air quality prediction
 +
 +**Bio:** Jens is a postdoctoral researcher at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), where he joined in December 2025. He holds a BSc in Industrial Engineering and an MSc in Data Science and Engineering from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), both obtained cum laude. He completed his PhD at TU/e in the Database Group, where his research focused on efficient algorithms for large-scale time series analysis, with an emphasis on similarity search. His work has been published in AI and data management venues such as SIGMOD, VLDB, and ICDE.
 +At BSC, Jens works together with Dr. Hervé Pétetin on the development of physics-informed deep learning methods for 
 +downscaling atmospheric simulations (e.g., from the MONARCH model).
