Giulia Mengoli is a PDRA student at The University of Reading working under the supervision of Professor Sandy Harrison.
Giulia’s PhD project was carried out at Imperial College London in collaboration with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) in Reading, co-supervised by Anna Agustí-Panareda. Her PhD work centred on the deployment of a new ecosystem model that combines satellite observations with eco-evolutionary optmality theory to predict canopy-level conductance and photosynthesis and improve near-real-time weather forecasting.
