Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Demaeyer is a physicist and research leader with a decade of experience applying statistical mechanics, nonlinear science and stochastic methods to dynamical meteorology and climate. As Head of the Dynamical Meteorology and Climatology Unit at the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium, he combines research, operational forecasting postprocessing and project management for European initiatives like Destination Earth and EUMETNET. He has built open-source tools and datasets—such as the Pythie postprocessing package, the qgs reduced-modelling framework and the MAOOAM ocean-atmosphere model—that bridge theory and operational practice. His work spans daily implementation of bias-corrected ECMWF forecasts to publishing benchmarking datasets for the community, reflecting both applied impact and methodological rigor. Based in Brussels, he brings a rare mix of deep theoretical training (PhD in theoretical physics) and hands-on engineering of reproducible climate software. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex stochastic theory into reliable operational systems that improve forecast skill.
