معرفی
Dr. Yann Quilcaille is a Researcher at ETH Zurich's Department of Environmental Systems Science, affiliated with the Professorship for Land Climate Dynamics. His work focuses on climate extremes, climate emulators, and socio-economic integration of climate models. He holds a PhD from Université Paris-Saclay and previously served as a research scholar at IIASA (Austria), advancing the OSCAR climate model. Key contributions include the MESMER-X emulator for spatially resolved climate extremes and research on fire weather, extreme event attribution, and climate overshoot scenarios.
Dr. Quilcaille's research integrates physics-based and statistical approaches to develop low-cost climate emulators, aiming to bridge climate modeling with socio-economic frameworks. His expertise spans heatwaves, droughts, and fires, with a focus on global and regional climate impacts. Notable projects include analyzing fire weather overlaps between continents and quantifying carbon majors' contributions to historical heatwaves.
His academic journey includes studies at Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris-Saclay (Theoretical Physics), AgroParisTech (Economics of Sustainable Development), and Université Pierre & Marie Curie (Ocean, Atmosphere, Climate). He has authored over 50 publications on climate modeling, emulation techniques, and policy-relevant climate science.
