Valerio Lucarini (born 11 August 1976 in Ancona, Italy[1]) is an Italian and British mathematician, physicist, and climate scientist. He has given key contributions in the area of mathematics and physics of climate.[2] In particular, he has shown how the use of statistical mechanics can advance the understanding of the link between forced and free variability of the climate system across multiple scales of motion, define a robust framework for understanding climatic tipping points, and improve our ability to interpret and model extreme events.[3][4]
He is currently a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences of the University of Leicester, where he coordinates the research group in computational modelling for sciences and engineering.[5]
