Summary
Martin Claus is a Product Owner and former junior professor who blends 11+ years of ocean-climate research with cloud-native engineering to modernize computational workflows for climate science. He founded Cloudlab, an open-source, browser-based virtual computer lab deployed on university infrastructure to simplify teaching, administration and reproducible research. His research centers on the ocean’s role in climate variability and attribution, and he leads projects integrating high-performance computing, modular Earth system modeling and explainable AI for climate-event attribution. Comfortable bridging academia and product delivery, he develops automated testing and exascale-capable analysis workflows to make computational science more scalable and robust. Based in Kiel, Germany, he pairs a PhD in oceanography with a background in meteorology and IT apprenticeship—an uncommon mix that helps him translate scientific needs into production-ready platforms.
