Summary
Mario Salinas is a Jr. Associate Scientist with nine years of experience applying computer science and data science to climate and maritime research from Apulia, Italy. At CMCC Foundation he develops and maintains the open-source VISIR-2 ship weather-routing model, performs advanced statistical modelling of maritime CO2 emissions, and contributes to sea level rise assessments and peer-reviewed publications for EU-funded projects. With a summa-cum-laude master's in Computer Science (Data Science & Technologies) from Università di Pisa and prior R&D experience building NFV/SDN PoCs and cloud-native deployments, he bridges research-grade analysis and production-ready software. He combines a scientist’s rigor with practical engineering—writing code that directly feeds policy-relevant climate assessments—and is comfortable moving between modeling, open-source development, and orchestration technologies.
