-Alba Vilanova Cortezón holds a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, earned at University of Lleida and Inha University, and obtained the Master's degree in Geospatial Technologies from NOVA University of Lisbon, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster and Jaume I University. Before joining the Computational Earth Sciences department in March 2022, she did an internship at Korea Institute of Energy Research and assessed the energy potential of the photovoltaic power plants located in South Korea using satellite-derived irradiance data. Following this and before starting her master’s degree, she worked as a software developer at Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems and contributed to the Open Energy Modelling Framework, a collection of Python libraries for the modelling of energy systems. In 2021 she participated in ECMWF Summer of Weather Code, an innovation programme run by ECMWF and Copernicus with the aim to drive innovation and open-source developments in the earth science community. Within this framework, she developed the Atmospheric Datasets Comparison Toolbox to facilitate the comparison of satellite- and model-based data on atmospheric composition, such as data from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), from TROPOMI and from the GOME-2 and IASI instruments onboard the polar-orbiting Metop-ABC satellites, providing a set of functions regarding the file interoperability, binning and regridding, computation of levels pressure, units conversion, application of the averaging kernels, datasets merge, geostatistical comparison and trend analysis. Currently, her work at Barcelona Supercomputing Center is focused on the implementation of new features in Providentia, a Python-based software used to evaluate air quality models given data from different observation networks. In addition to this, she is working on the development of an I/O library called NES (NetCDF for Earth Science) to read, write and manipulate atmospheric models in different geographical projections for the operational workflows.
