Imran Nadeem

Dr.nat.techn. Imran Nadeem MSc is a researcher at the Institute of Meteorology and Climatology, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). His work focuses on Alpine and urban climate modeling, regional climate simulations, and climate change impacts on energy systems and thermal comfort. He has contributed to projects like URBANIA and presented at conferences including the European Geosciences Union General Assembly.

Education:

• PhD in Meteorology (2017, BOKU)
• Master of Science in Physics (2005)
• Bachelor of Science in Physics, Applied and Pure Mathematics (2003)

Research Interests: Imran specializes in regional climate modeling, particularly using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to study temperature inversions in Alpine basins and valleys. His research explores the sensitivity of climate models to parameterization schemes, the interaction between urban expansion and climate change, and the development of high-resolution meteorological datasets. These datasets are applied to energy modeling and climate projections for Alpine regions.

Scientific Awards:

• Top Position in MSc Physics (2005)

Publications and Presentations: His work spans climate change impacts on urban heat islands, drought periods, and livestock. Notable collaborations include studies on Vienna's climate with the TU Wien and Alpine meteorology research at conferences like the International Conference on Alpine Meteorology. Imran's recent studies examine WRF model parameterization and the interplay between urban growth and thermal comfort in Vienna.
