Assistant Professor at University of Padua
Padua, Veneto, Italy
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolClaudia Acquistapace is an atmospheric physicist and assistant professor with eight years of research experience combining radar and radiometer observations, high-resolution LES modeling, and Python-based data analysis. She has led and secured funding for interdisciplinary projects—from DFG- and ARM-funded research to a university-supported social video documentary—and currently holds an RTD-B position at the University of Padua after leading an EXPATS junior research group on machine-learning studies of Alpine storms. Experienced in science communication and project management, she runs the PROBE COST Action's outreach (website and social content) and translates complex climate science into engaging public narratives. Claudia blends hands-on experimental skills with model evaluation expertise (ICON-LES) and growing interests in AI/ML for atmospheric problems. She seeks roles that merge R&D, sustainability leadership, or science communication within close-knit teams. A less obvious strength is her cross-cultural European training and active pivot from pure research into storytelling, which amplifies her impact beyond academia.
