 I obtained my bachelor degree in Environmental Engineering from Colombia in 2014 and a Master's degree in Biological and Environmental Engineering from the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2021. I was involved in a research project at the IDAEA-CSIC focused on studying the impact of electric vehicles on air quality and toxicity. Our goal was to provide technical solutions to the automotive industry and develop policy options to mitigate this impact. Previously, I was working in the Atmospheric Emissions Group at the District Environment Secretary (SDA) in Bogotá, Colombia. In that role, I was responsible for identifying pollutants emitted by point sources across various industries and I led audits as the principal auditor for emission and air quality studies. I obtained my bachelor degree in Environmental Engineering from Colombia in 2014 and a Master's degree in Biological and Environmental Engineering from the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2021.

 I joined BSC in October 2022 within the Material Science group in the CASE department. There I worked developing a suite of mini-applications from flagship ab initio electronic structure codes that closely reproduced relevant computational kernels to be tested in new HPC systems. The objective was to enable and promote co-design activities and establish a communication bridge between hardware vendors/engineers and software developers in the material science community.  I joined the Atmospheric Composition group in the Earth Sciences department in April 2024 to work on Machine Learning models and give support in HPC performance profiling and optimization. I joined BSC in October 2022 within the Material Science group in the CASE department.

 +
 +**Interests:** Atmospheric modeling, aerosol-radiation interaction, aerosol physical and optical properties. \\
 +
 +**Bio:** I obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Physics and Astrophysics (December 2006) and a Master's Degree in Physics (July 2010) by the University of Rome "Sapienza", with a thesis on the numerical calculation of gravitational waves generated by magneto-hydrodynamic instabilities. After university, I worked for 6 months (July 2011 - January 2012) at the Thales Alenia Space company (Turin), where I developed a performance model for an optical satellite link. I joined the BSC in July 2013, where I obtained my PhD in Environmental Engineering by the "Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya" in March 2018. My PhD thesis focused on sensitivity studies of aerosol radiative effect and optical properties to varying microphysical assumptions. During my PhD, I also implemented a first-generation full coupling between aerosols and radiation in the MONARCH atmospheric model. From April 2018 to May 2019, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the BSC, where I mainly refined the aerosol-radiation coupling mechanism in MONARCH with a focus on mineral dust, whose optical modeling was extended to include the non-spherical effect and an initial framework for the mineralogy effect. From August 2019 to July 2023, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS, New York), where I completed the implementation of a flexible mineral-radiation coupling along with the non-spherical effect for mineral dust in the GISS Earth system model (ModelE). In October 2023, I joined again the BSC, where my effort is mainly aimed at improving the optical modeling of dust minerals in MONARCH, in the context of a collaborative work with other state-of-the-art models involved in EMIT, a NASA project for the detection of soil mineral composition in global dust source regions and the creation of a new mineralogy atlas for Earth system models.

 **Bio:** Matthew Dawson received a Bachelors of Science in Chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh (USA) in 2009, and a PhD in Chemistry from the University of California, Irvine (USA) in 2014. His graduate work at UCI focused on laboratory studies of new particle formation and the development of a novel mechanism for the formation of particles from methanesulfonic acid, amines and water that accounts for the observed complex dependence on precursor concentrations. Post-doctoral research in the Dept. of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UCI involved exploring the effects of recently identified aromatic oxidation pathways on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in Southern California using the regional UCI-CIT air quality model, and incorporation of the CAPRAMv2.4-reduced aqueous chemistry mechanism into the particle-resolved aerosol model [[https://github.com/compdyn/partmc|Part-MC]]. He is currently working at BSC to incorporate an advanced SOA mechanism (CACM/MPMPO) into the NMMB-MONARCHv1.0 chemical weather prediction system in order to explore the effects of reactions of ammonia with organic aerosol leading the formation of brown carbon. **Bio:** Matthew Dawson received a Bachelors of Science in Chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh (USA) in 2009, and a PhD in Chemistry from the University of California, Irvine (USA) in 2014.
