Dr Antonios Mamalakis
I am a postdoctoral researcher working with Professors Elizabeth Barnes and Imme Ebert-Uphoff at Colorado State University (CSU). I hold a PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from University of California, Irvine, advised by Professor Efi Foufoula-Georgiou.
My past work has been focused on the interaction between climate variability and change with regional hydroclimate across scales.
In CSU, I am currently working on eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) and its application to climate science.
