Research interests

I am interested in fire weather extremes, exploring how extreme weather conditions contribute to wildfire risk. My focus also includes climate change, examining its broad impacts on environmental systems. Additionally, I am engaged in climate modelling to predict future scenarios and better understand the potential effects of climate shifts.
