John Ssebandeke

John Ssebandeke is a Post-doctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, working in the Climate Variability Department within the Climate Energetics group. He also participates in the A6 project of CLICCS at Universität Hamburg and the Earth Virtualisation Engines (EVE).

His educational background includes:

• Postdoc in Climate Science, Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (2024–Present)
• PhD in Meteorology, Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (2020–2024)
• Research Assistant, The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (2019–2020)
• Post Graduate Diploma in Earth System Physics, The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (2018–2019)
• MSc Physics, Makerere University (2016–2018)
• BSc Physics and Mathematics, Makerere University (2012–2016)

His research focuses on High resolution modelling, Energetics, Human-climate dynamics, Multi-scale interactions, and Climate variability. He investigates ocean energy cycles using eddy-resolving simulations, emphasizing the role of multi-scale dynamics in climate systems.

His 2022–2024 publications analyze ocean energetics and model biases, particularly the Lorenz Energy Cycle and tropical Atlantic CMIP simulations. These works advance high-resolution climate modeling and energy transfer understanding in Earth system prediction.
