Our Early Career Researcher (ECR) of the Month for August 2024 is Christoph Sauter!

Having completed his PhD exploring how heatwaves and extreme rainfall interact at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Christoph is now working at the German Weather Service (DWD). At the moment, the DWD is working on a large project to improve warning systems by making them more user-centric and impact-based. Christoph’s role is to help develop methods to verify these new warning products from the viewpoint of their users, such as emergency response teams, aviation, or the general public.

Outside of work, Christoph is an excellent 5-aside football player and is extremely missed on the Strathclyde Civil and Environmental Engineering team.
