Research interests

My research work aims at unraveling the dynamical factors contributing to tropical and extratropical weather and climate extremes, assessing their predictability from seasonal to multi-decadal timescales and providing climate services to support decision-making across socio-economic sectors (agriculture, fisheries and hydrology).
