The Team
Who we are
Ivana Stiperski, PI
Ivana is an assistant professor of Atmospheric Turbulence. Her work focuses on theory and observations of complex terrain turbulence, especially the anistropy of turbulence.
Damian Wojcik, Postdoc
Damian is performing very high resolution LES simulations over hills
Mauro Ghirardelli, Postdoc
Mauro specializes in experimental boundary layer meteorology, focusing on slope flows
Samuele Mosso, Postdoc
Samuele comes from complex systems physics and works on machine learning for turbulence over complex terrain, using a large number of turbulence datasets as well as anisotropy theory
Andreas Rauchöcker, PhD student
Andreas is employing his experience with mountain meteorology and numerical modelling to perform very high resolution LES simulations of topographic flows
Maja Wedel, PhD student
Maja is using LES simulations to examine turbulence characteristics in stably stratified flows over flat and complex terrain
Sebastian Brandl, technician
While studying atmospheric sciences Sebastian is also working on Unicorn measurement campaigns and deployments
Alumni
Claudine Charrondiere, Postdoctoral researcher, worked on the spectral scaling of convective turbulence over complex terrain and katabatic flows
