Currently, Arturo works as a scientist (wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter) at the Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS). Arturo works in the optimization of the interfaces between impact models and regional climate models, specifically definition and development of interfaces to impact models; development of Python based libraries for the GERICS “Climate Service Infrastructure”; development of new analysis methods; and application of AI methods to optimize the interface between climate models data and impact models.

Previously, Arturo was a research & technology associate in the Environmental Research and Innovation (ERIN) department at the Luxembourg Institute of Science of Technology (LIST).

His research interests include GIS and geospatial data assimilation from Earth Observation, remote sensing, general circulation models (GCMs) and regional climate models (RCMs) for building data-driven and machine learning models, with applications in agriculture, natural resources management, and climate change assessment.

Arturo also has an ample experience in applied (spatial) statistics, and time series forecasting in areas related to flood and surface-water modelling, catchment and urban hydrology.
