Fred Kucharski

He received his PhD in Frankfurt/Main in Germany in 1997. The topic of his PhD was the development of a local atmospheric available potential energy concept, derived from the Exergy framework. After Research fellow periods at the GKSS in Germany, University of Reading and the Metoffice, UK, he joined the ICTP in 2001, where his main research areas are climate variability and its predictability. Special research topics include atmospheric and oceanic teleconnections, particularly El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Atlantic Nino teleconnections with monsoons and extratropical regions at all time scales; the separation of forced and internal climate variability; Sahel and Arabian Peninsula rainfall variability and its relation to sea surface temperatures; and decadal modes of variability and air-sea interactions. 

He is also editor-in-chief of the Nature Partner Journal npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, and faculty member of the Earth Science, Fluid-Dynamics, and Mathematics. Interactions and Methods (ESFM) Phd programme between University of Trieste, OGS and ICTP. He has co-organized more than 30 Scientific Activities at ICTP and elsewhere.

Since 2017 he is also head of the External Activities Unit at ICTP.
