Miguel Nogueira holds a PhD in Atmospheric Sciences in November/2014, a joint programme between FCUL (Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa) and Duke University (USA), where he also worked as an assistant researcher on climate variability over complex terrain. Since then, he conducts research on climate change and numerical climate modeling. Over the last 5 years, he published 14 papers in top journals, 10 as the leading author (6 as a single author). He submitted 3 additional papers, currently under review (2 as first author). He worked as postdoctoral researcher at IPMA (Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera) and IDL (Instituto Dom Luiz - FCUL) funded by an EEA grant under project “Local Warming Website”, characterizing the historical climate over Portugal and projecting its future evolution with unprecedented detail using a state-of-the-art multi-model ensemble. The results were publicly released through a custom-tailored easy-access data portal (http://portaldoclima.pt). Subsequently, he worked as a junior researcher on land surface model development funded by F.C.T. project CONTROL, in a joint effort between IDL-FCUL, IPMA, European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) and Météo-France. During this period, he completed short training period at Météo-France on the SURFEX modeling platform. Since December 2020 he works as an Assistant Researcher at IDL, funded by EEA grant project “National Roadmap for Adaptation for the Twenty-First Century” (RNA2100), being one of the project core CVs, and co-responsible for one work package. RNA2100 supports Portuguese public policy on climate change, assessing impacts and adaptation strategies at national to local levels under different future socioeconomic development scenarios, combining models and observations. The proponent has been an active member of IDL’s climate research group 1 (RG1), maintaining collaborations on regional and urban climate modeling, numerical modeling, and data assimilation, and in writing project funding proposals. He integrated research project SOLAR (funded by FCT) on Earth System Modelling of the Eastern Atlantic Region, and “CaMaFlood Integration” (funded by ECMWF) for implementing a Global River Hydrodynamics scheme into ECMWF’s land-surface model. He organizes RG1 seminar series, and contributes to student training as an advisor for BSc, MSc and PhD thesis: 5 successfully finished, and has 4 ongoing (including 2 focusing on the application of machine learning methods to climate science - one MSc thesis in collaboration FCUL’s computer science department, and the other as an external advisor for a PhD on theoretical physics from ETH Zurich in collaboration with Prof. Maciej Koch-Janusz). He is an active reviewer for top journals, including Science Advances, Earth System Dynamics, Journal of Hydrology amongst others. He has worked as an invited auxiliary professor at FCUL for the “numerical modeling” course between 2017 and 2019.
