I am a postdoctoral researcher working on the HEATforecast project, which investigates the dynamical constraints for the predictability of heatwaves in present and future climates. My research focuses on the role of large-scale circulation (in particular, atmospheric blocking), convection and land–atmosphere interactions in shaping the intensity, duration, and predictability of heat and compound hot–dry events. To address these questions, I use storm-resolving climate models (e.g., ICON) alongside reanalyses to evaluate how convection and soil–precipitation feedbacks influence the dynamics of extremes.
