Stamen I. Dolaptchiev

Dr. Stamen I. Dolaptchiev is a Researcher at the Institute for Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences within the Goethe University Frankfurt. His primary affiliation is with the Department of Theory of Atmospheric Dynamics and Climate. He holds a PhD in Mathematics from the Free University Berlin, awarded in 2008 for his thesis on "Asymptotic models for planetary scale atmospheric motions", advised by Prof. Dr. Rupert Klein.

Education:

• 1999–2005: Meteorology studies at Free University Berlin
• 2005–2008: PhD research at Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research
• 2008–2009: PhD studies at Free University Berlin, Department of Mathematics

Research Focus: His work centers on advanced mathematical frameworks for climate systems, including intermediate complexity atmospheric models, asymptotic methods for multiscale phenomena, stochastic approaches to climate variability, and time series analysis. These methods aim to bridge theoretical meteorology with computational climate modeling.

Professional Activity: Since 2009, he has been a Research Associate at Goethe University's Institute for Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences. His research outputs are documented via ORCID. Office hours are Wednesdays 1–2 PM in Room 3.336.

Labs/Teams: Affiliated with the Institute's climate dynamics group, focusing on interdisciplinary projects combining applied mathematics and atmospheric science.
