ברכות לד"ר אסף שמואל על זכייתו בתכנית ות"ת למלגות לבתר-דוקטורנטים מצטיינים בתחומים של אנרגיה ואקלים
congratulations to Dr. Assaf Shmuel on being awarded the VATAT Postdoctoral Fellowship for Outstanding Researchers in the Fields of Energy and Climate.
מרכז ארכימדס מברך את ד"ר אסף שמואל על זכייתו במלגת ות"ת לבתר-דוקטורנטים מצטיינים בתחומי אנרגיה ואקלים.
אסף הוא עמית מחקר במעבדת מילוא במכון ויצמן וחבר במרכז ארכימדס. מועמדותו של אסף למלגת ות"ת הוגשה באמצעות אוניברסיטת בר אילן.
את עבודתו של אסף ינחה פרופ' ד"ר קארל שלוסנר במסגרת קבוצת אנרגיה, אקלים וסביבה ב-IIASA.
תקציר מחקרו של אסף:
Climate change is already affecting our lives, with more frequent heatwaves, wildfires, and floods. The benefits of taking action and reducing greenhouse gas emissions are often believed to take decades to appear. This research challenges that assumption. Using advanced machine learning models and high-resolution climate simulations, the study looks for early signs that mitigation is making a difference. Instead of focusing only on global averages, it examines regional climate patterns across the world to detect differences between high and low emission futures within just a decade. This approach can help policymakers and the public recognize the value of early climate action, motivating stronger and more timely responses.
