Peer Nowack heads the Chair of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Climate and Environmental Sciences since March 2023. His group works on a wide range of data science issues in climate science and atmospheric chemistry. This involves an innovative combination of machine learning methods, numerical earth system models and earth observations (e.g. satellite data).
Prior to his appointment at KIT, Peer Nowack taught and researched in England for almost 10 years, most recently in the form of a permanent lectureship in Atmospheric Chemistry and Data Science at the University of East Anglia (UEA, from 2020 to 2023). Prior to that, and partly overlapping with the lectureship at UEA, he headed a junior research group at Imperial College London (from 2017-2021). He completed his PhD at the University of Cambridge in 2016, following studies in Interdisciplinary Natural Sciences at ETH Zurich (Switzerland). In the summer of 2022, he was a visiting researcher at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (USA).
