David Leutwyler

Dr. David Leutwyler is a Lecturer at the Department of Environmental Systems Science, ETH Zurich. His research focuses on Clouds, Convection, and Climate, with a particular emphasis on convection-resolving climate models and high-performance computing. He explores topics such as tropical island impacts on climate, soil moisture-precipitation feedbacks, and the dynamics of cyclones and convective systems at kilometer-scale resolutions.

Leutwyler’s work integrates supercomputing and heterogeneous computing techniques to advance climate modeling capabilities. His outreach includes a presentation at the 34C3 conference in 2017, discussing challenges in convection-resolving climate simulations. His publications span journals like the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society and the Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, emphasizing innovative methodologies and climate dynamics analysis.
