 +**Short bio:** Sonali Mayani is a physicist from the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). She has worked on developing a parallel Poisson solver targeted towards exascale computing as part of a Particle-in-Cell software, used mainly in Plasma Physics and Accelerator Physics. She joined the Computational Earth Sciences department in November 2021 to work on the land-use model (H-TESSEL), which is embedded in the IFS weather model.

 +Marcus is a Research Engineer in the Computational Earth Sciences Group. He has a BSc (with Honours) in Mathematics from the University of St Andrews, Scotland and a Master’s in Modelling for Science and Engineering from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). Having focused on applied mathematics during his Bachelor’s (including dynamical systems, fluid mechanics, differential equations and symbolic computation) he completed his final year dissertation on numerical weather modelling. During his time in the Master’s, he took an internship at Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA-UAB) where he worked on the assessment of model performance of meteorological and air quality models over Barcelona using Python. He has worked in the Earth Science department since September 2018, working very closely with the biogeochemists in the Climate Prediction Group as part of the ORCAS project. This work has involved implementing the Transport Matrix Method (TMM) to the ocean model, processing and reformatting raw data from autonomous sensors from the ocean to be used by departmental tools, and analysing different methods to perform sensitivity analysis, including the use of a genetic algorithm and Uranie for the ESCAPE2 project.

 +Short bio: Javier Vegas-Regidor is a Physics and Computer Sciences graduated from
 +the University of Salamanca. He joined BSC Earth Sciences Department in
 +2015 and he is currently the person in charge of the climate diagnostics
 +for the Earth Sciences Department. He is also part of the core
 +development team of ESMValTool in behalf of BSC-ES and the PRIMAVERA
 +H2020 project. His main responsibilities include the enhancement and maintenance of the
 +current tools but also exploring new tools and technologies that can be
 +applied to diagnostics.

 +Contact: [[nuria.perez@bsc.es|nuria.perez@bsc.es]] - [[https://es.linkedin.com/in/núria-pérez-zanón-9364175b|LinkedIn]]\\
 +Short bio: Núria Pérez-Zanón is a postdoctoral researcher and member of the Data and Diagnostic teams in the Computational Earth Sciences group at BSC. With a background in Physics and Meteorology (degrees from the University of Barcelona; UB), she obtained her PhD from Rovira i Virgili University (URV) in 2017 on Climate variability and Change detection in the central Pyrenees using instrumental and paleoclimate proxy data. This expertise includes quality control and homogenization methodologies for observed in-situ data, as well as, the methodologies to explore the relationship between natural proxies (tree-ring data and lake sediments) and observed climate, such as time series analysis and spectral analysis (e.g.: clustering, Principal Component Analysis and Wavelet analysis). During the thesis, one year and a half of research stay in LOCEAN (Laboratoire d’Océanographie et du Climat) allowed to work in the reconstruction of past modes of variability. She is the author of 8 peer-reviewed articles in international journals. She was recognized with the Eduard Fontserè 2015 international award for the study of mortality due to heatwaves in the Barcelona metropolitan area. After working in the H2020 Indecis project as a postdoctoral researcher in the URV, she is currently working in Earth Sciences department at BSC, mainly involved in several Copernicus Climate Change Contracts (C3S_512, MAGIC,...) and the MEDSCOPE ERA4CS project. She is also coordinating the development and maintenance of the R tools of the department which cover the scientific needs from loading big datasets until applied best state-of-the-art methodologies for correcting, assessing, calibrating and processing sub-seasonal to decadal forecast and climate projections by adapting them efficiently to High Performance Computing resources.
