BIO.

 

I am an atmospheric scientist. I study climate change, one of the most pressing issues we face today. Throughout my professional career, I have basically focused on understanding climate change. My first published papers were in the field of knowing the climate and climate change regionally. To date, my works have been resulted over 25 peer-reviewed journals, 25 conference papers, and more than 5 presentations and invited talks. I wrote ‘Iran, Global Warming and, Heatwaves’ a book that is showing how changes are expected in the characteristic of heatwaves. I hold serving as a reviewer and scientific board of more than 10 archival journals and conferences. In addition to convening and teaching academic and professional programs, I hold a postdoctoral position at the department of Meteorology/Istanbul Technical University. My research currently focuses on establishment a scientific basis for assessing the regional to global-scale impacts of climate change on the natural environment. To this end, I analyze observations, compare future scenarios, evaluate global and regional climate models, and constantly strive to develop better ways of translating climate projections.
