Pablo Lichtig is a biologist from the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires (FCEN-UBA). He is carrying out his PhD in Science and Technology with a focus on Chemistry, at the Institute of Environmental Engineering (UNSAM, Argentina), under the supervision of Laura Dawidowski and Darío Gómez (CNEA, Argentina). He is a teaching assistant at FCEN-UBA. He has specialized in ambient air pollution in Latin America, with particular emphasis on carbon monoxide and particulate matter pollution, both by observational techniques and atmospheric modeling. Within the framework of his doctorate, he participated in the European Union Project: “Prediction of Air Pollution in Latin America and the Caribbean”, within the framework of which he made two semester stays in the Environmental Modeling Group of the Max Planck Institute of Meteorology, in charge of Guy Brasseur, and works on the analysis of model results under the coordination of Nicolás Huneeus (University of Chile). He is currently doing a one-year stay at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in the United States, working on evaluating modeling systems with observational data.

This webinar series has been created in the context of a scientific project funded by CNRS (France) that has recently started: IRN ChimSur: Characterizing spatial-temporal evolution of atmospheric composition in the south cone with CHIMERE. Sylvain Mailler (LMD-CNRS, France) is the PI of this project, with other participants from LMD, as well as from IFAECI (Argentina-France), Instituto Gulich (Argentina), and Universidad de Chile (Chile).
