Christina Kalogeri

Short Biography

Dr. Christina Kalogeri holds a Bachelor’s degree in Physics (NKUA), a Master’s degree in Environmental Physics (NKUA), and a PhD (NKUA-2017) focused on air–sea interactions in relation to offshore renewable energy. She has more than 15 years of experience in numerical weather prediction, atmospheric and marine modeling, and operational environmental forecasting. She has participated in 12 research projects funded by the European Union, Greece, and Cyprus. Her published work includes 18 articles in peer-reviewed international journals (h-index 10, >600 citations), as well as more than 30 contributions in conference proceedings and poster presentations, and she has also contributed to a book on the climatology of desert dust in Saudi Arabia.Since 2008, she has been involved in the operational operation and management of the SKIRON/dust atmospheric model (https://forecast.uoa.gr) and the WAM wave model within the Atmospheric Modeling and Weather Forecasting Group (AM&WFG) of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA).

Since September 2018, she has been the lead responsible for their operational use and development. Her research interests include numerical weather/wave and dust forecasting, air–sea interaction, renewable energy in relation to meteorology, urban/coastal modeling, and climate change. She has also delivered hands-on training and advanced courses in numerical wave and dust modeling for staff of international meteorological agencies, including the Qatar Meteorology Department and the National Center of Meteorology of Saudi Arabia, in support of the installation and adaptation of operational forecasting systems.
