Presenter

Ioan Hadade is a Senior Computational Scientist and Team Leader of the HPC Applications team at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). His team is responsible for the optimization and benchmarking of the IFS and AIFS weather forecasting models on both internal and external HPC systems, and the exploration of future HPC architectures. Ioan's team is also heavily involved in supporting ECMWF's activities in the EU's Destination Earth initiative by porting and optimizing ECMWF's weather forecasting models on EuroHPC machines in order to enable the efficient operation of the Weather-Induced Extremes and Climate Change Adaptation digital twins on these platforms. He holds a PhD from Imperial College London and an MSc in HPC from the University of Edinburgh.
