Giovanni Aloisio

Giovanni Aloisio serves as full professor of Information Processing Systems at the University of Salento's Department of Innovation Engineering, where he leads the HPC laboratory. Concurrently, he directs the Supercomputing Center and Scientific Computing and Operations (SCO) Division at the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC), holding key roles in CMCC's Governance bodies, Strategic Council, and Executive Committee.

His research spans high performance computing, grid/cloud systems, and distributed data management with strong climate science applications. A co-founder of the European Grid Forum (Egrid), he has driven major EU initiatives including EGEE, IS-ENES1/2, and EESI/EESI2 projects while chairing the Weather, Climate and solid Earth Sciences (WCES) European Working Group. His work focuses on integrating HPC, big data, and machine learning for climate modeling and environmental analysis.

Recent publications reveal a convergence of computational techniques addressing climate science challenges, featuring end-to-end workflows, climate data spaces in the European Open Science Cloud, and AI applications for tropical cyclone tracking and epidemiological modeling. The research demonstrates systematic integration of simulation, analytics, and machine learning across climate and public health domains.

No specific scientific awards are documented in the source material.

Professor Aloisio has secured substantial European research funding through leadership roles in critical infrastructure projects:

• EU-FP7 IS-ENES1/IS-ENES2 projects as CMCC responsible
• EU-FP7 EESI/EESI2 projects as ENES responsible
• Chair of WCES European Working Group
• Key expert in International Exascale Software Project (IESP)

He operates at the intersection of academic and research institution leadership, directing both the University of Salento's HPC laboratory and CMCC's Supercomputing Center while collaborating with the ENES HPC Task Force and European Grid Initiative to advance computational climate science infrastructure.
