Summary
Jean-Baptiste Filippi is a research scientist at CNRS with 12 years of experience developing computational systems for wildfire forecasting and a background at ECMWF and the University of Tokyo. He combines scientific research, high-performance scientific software development (notably contributions to GRIB/EC codes workflows), and field expertise as a volunteer firefighter advising on weather-driven fire behavior. Based in Corsica, he leads the Firecaster forecasting project and shares computational science through a focused YouTube channel, bridging research and public-facing tools. His work spans academia and operational services, pairing advanced numerical methods with practical decision-support for firefighting. Trained in computer science across European universities, he brings a rare mix of HPC coding, atmospheric data expertise, and on-the-ground firefighting experience that informs his applied research.
