 +**PhD Student** \\
 +
 +**Interests:** climate physics, mineral dust, atmospheric & climate modelling, atmospheric physics
 +
 +**Bio:** I am a Ph.D. student in the Environmental Engineering program at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), researching the effects of dust on regional climate by integrating constrained dust-source mineralogy into climate models. My work is supervised by María Gonçalves (UPC) and Carlos Pérez García-Pando (Barcelona Supercomputing Center – BSC), where I conduct my research.
 +
 +I hold a bachelor's degree in physics from the University of Milan and a master's degree in climate physics from Utrecht University. My master's thesis, conducted at the Institut des Géosciences de l'Environnement (IGE) in Grenoble, focused on reconstructing meteorological datasets using machine learning techniques.

 **Bio:**I studied physics in Universitat de València (2020) where I got interested in data science and remote sensing. Later I studied a master in remote sensing (2021) with a thesis on the behaviour of aerosols over Cape Verd, followed by another master in data science (2024) with a thesis on the usage of convolutional neural networks to classify flooded area on satellite images. After working for two years in finance related companies I settled for a PhD program here at the Earth Sciences department of BSC to work on new methods for forecasting aerosol concentration. **Bio:**I studied physics in Universitat de València (2020) where I got interested in data science and remote sensing.

 +{{:working_groups:jyun.jpg?100 |}}
 +** Postdoctoral Researcher** \\
 +** Interests:** data assimilation, dust-climate interactions, aerosols
 +
 +**Bio:** I joined the AC group at the BSC in October 2024 as a postdoctoral researcher. I obtained my PhD degree in Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences at the University of Edinburgh. My PhD thesis focused on global dust impact on climate system. I used CESM to perform a sensitivity of dust simulations, and looked for a better understanding of comprehensive dust influences ENSO.
 +Before my PhD, I worked as a research engineer at a private research company in South Korea, where I participated in various KMA-funded projects related to satellite meteorological data processing and real-time seasonal forecasting systems.

 +==== Tito Vintimilla Cruz ====
 +
 +** Junior Research Engineer ** \\
 +
 +**Interests:** aerosol forecast products, geospatial data, remote sensing.
 +
 +**Bio:** I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Geology from the University of Liverpool in 2021. After a period of diverse work experiences in the UK and Ecuador, I moved to Barcelona and obtained my Master's degree in Geoinformation from the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2024. During this time, I also collaborated with the Área Metropolitana de Barcelona (AMB) team to develop and implement geospatial solutions and workflows for the objections phase of the Metropolitan Urban Master Plan (PDUM). After finishing my degree, I have now joined BSC as a Junior Research Engineer to work on the ATARI project, where my efforts will be focused on developing high-quality training sessions and material on aerosol forecast products to help raise the research profile and capabilities of ECoE.

 +{{:working_groups:img_20241002_140518.jpg?100|}}
 +**Postdoctoral Researcher** \\
 +**Interests:** air quality, ozone, aerosols, natural emissions, dry deposition, trend analysis.\\
 +
 +**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.
