Biography
Msc. Kim Serradell
Maronda (male) is currently managing the Computational Earth Sciences group in
the Earth Sciences department at Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS). In
the last years, he has been in charge of the system administration of all the
computational resources of the department and he was also responsible for
supervising the operational runs of the NMMB/BSC-CTM model and CALIOPE Air
Quality System at BSC. In that sense, he was also involved in the analysis of
the models to improve their performance and developed strong skills of
compilation and scripting. Furthermore, he's focused on deploying different
earth system models (dust transport, climate or weather forecast) required by
the department in a wide range of HPC architectures. Work Package leader within
ESiWACE and ESiWACE2 (H2020 Weather and Climate Center of Excellence), IS-ENES3
(H2020) and ESCAPE-2 (FET H2020) and he is also involved in EC-FP7 and H2020
projects: IS-ENES2, Montblanc and IMMERSE. He’s member of different
international fora, reviewer of ERA projects and has been an active contributor
