After completing a master's degree in computational science I briefly worked on the Open Earth Compiler, a stencil compiler for weather and climate codes, supervised by Tobias Gysi and Tobias Grosser. I now work at Meteoswiss in the context of the GLORI and EXCLAIM projects with the goal to develop the next generation weather and climate models in a higher level language - in our case Python - to be able to abstract hardware details away, leaving portability and performance to automatic code generation.
