My main goal was to develop a stochastic model able to reproduce the space-time behavior of rainfall as observed at very high resolution (100m in space, 1min in time). In parallel I also investigated the influence of the regional climate on the observed space-time structure of local rain fields.<\/p>\n<p>I left the University of Lausanne in february 2020 when I completed my PhD, but I continue to work on spatial statistics and therefore stay in touch with the GAIA Lab.
