I’m a Digital Twin Earth Scientist at the European Space Agency’s Centre for Earth Observation, ESRIN, where I coordinate the development of digital replicas of elements of the Earth System based on Earth Observation data, numerical modelling and AI.

My research background focuses on understanding the dynamics of ice sheets, such as those presently covering Antarctica and Greenland, with the overarching aim of improving predictions for their future contributions to sea-level rise. I use numerical modelling, remote-sensing observations and geophysical data to improve our understanding of key processes controlling ice-sheet evolution.
