Dr Antonios Mamalakis
I am a research scientist working with Professors Elizabeth Barnes and James Hurrell 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.
At CSU, I currently work on eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) and its application to climate science.
