Summary
Kittiphon Boonma is a Research Specialist in computational geophysics and geoinformatics with a decade of experience applying numerical modelling, remote sensing, and geospatial data science to environmental monitoring, climate downscaling, and disaster risk reduction. Based at AIT’s Geoinformatics Center, he leads technical development of tools like PyAEZ and combines dynamical and statistical climate downscaling with air quality remote sensing to produce policy-relevant, field-deployable solutions for the Mekong region. His background includes PhD-level geophysics and HPC-driven geodynamics research across top European institutes, where he built custom Python modelling codes and ran large simulations on national supercomputers. Equally comfortable in code and the field, he bridges academic research and regional implementation to support climate resilience and sustainable resource management. An under-the-radar strength is his cross-disciplinary fluency—numerical modelling skills that transfer beyond earth science into broader computational problems.
