Leo Loprieno started as a PhD student in November 2024 in the BMBF-funded junior research group ‚CoSynHealth – COnflicts and SYNergies between carbon-neutral and HEALTHy city scenarios’, led by Dr. Peter Hoffmann. During his PhD, he will mainly focus on developing methods to estimate current and future thermal comfort in urban environments employing the high-resolution urban climate model PALM-4U.
Leo Loprieno obtained his Master of Science (2023) at the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science of ETH Zurich. In his master’s thesis, he analyzed the climate change signal of two kilometer-scale climate models over the Canary Islands and Madeira. Following his graduation, he worked in Italy at the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC) as a climate and weather model research assistant in the Division of Regional Models and geo-Hydrological Impacts. There, within the framework of national and international projects, he was running and monitoring convection-permitting climate simulations and analyzed the respective.
