Dr Ekaterina Vorobeva works as a postdoctoral researcher at NILU since January 2024. Her project is a part of the Copernicus Climate Change Service Evolution (CERISE) project that aims to enhance the quality of the C3S reanalysis and seasonal forecast portfolio. In her postdoctoral research, Ekaterina will analyze snow forecasts produced by several leading meteorological centers in Europe and discuss the role of snow in land-atmosphere coupling.

Ekaterina holds a PhD degree from the Norwegian university of science and technology (NTNU) in Trondheim. Her PhD project had a focus on utilizing ground-based observations of low-frequency sound waves (infrasound) to probe the dynamics of the middle atmosphere. A particular emphasis was put on studying gravity waves activity and the stratospheric polar vortex.

Ekaterina’s main research interests include but are not limited to (i) atmospheric dynamics and chemistry, (ii) middle atmosphere, (iii) remote sensing, (iv) atmospheric modelling.

Jean Froment is a researcher at the climate and research institute NILU.

Jean has conducted his PhD. at the Norwegian institute of Water Research (NIVA) and University of Oslo (UiO) focusing on Effect-Directed analysis (EDA). His post-doctoral experiences at the UFZ (Leipzig, Germany) and Stockholm University (Sweden) focused on performing nontarget analysis of biological and environmental samples.

Jean’s main research interests include the screening of environmental samples (particulate matter, water…) by chromatography (LC, or GC) coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometers (HRMS). Together with in vitro bioassays, nontarget analysis allows the detection of unexpected toxicants in the environment.

Jean is also passionate about the use of open-source software for the data processing of HRMS data and in silico tools to reveal the chemical composition and structure of unknown features.
