Paola Corrales

Paola has a PhD in Atmospheric Science from the University of Buenos Aires. During her PhD, Paola applied data assimilation techniques to improve the representation of mesoscale convective systems and associated precipitation. In particular, her research focuses on data assimilation of conventional observations and radiances from polar and geostationary satellites. She has experience working with Numerical Weather Prediction models and developing software using R and Fortran. She is an active R user and developer and contributes to many communities of practice, such as R-Ladies and rOpenSci. She resently joined the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes at Monash SEAE where she studies the impact of volcanic eruption on temperature and precipitation extremes.
