Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobin Hogan is a Principal Scientist at ECMWF and Visiting Professor at the University of Reading whose 25+ year career blends deep atmospheric physics with practical numerical innovation in radiative transfer and remote sensing. He developed the widely adopted ecRad radiation scheme used by major centres such as ECMWF and DWD, and has authored over 140 peer-reviewed papers with more than 15,000 citations (h-index 49). Robin’s work spans satellite mission advisory (co-chairing the ESA–JAXA EarthCARE Mission Advisory Group), algorithm development for weather and climate models, and the retrieval of cloud and precipitation properties from radar and lidar. Known for translating complex radiative theory into efficient, production-ready code, he brings a rare combination of academic rigour, operational impact, and long-term leadership in atmospheric remote sensing.
