Francesco Paparella is the director of the Mubadala Arabian Center for Climate and Environmental Sciences. His research focuses on developing and studying mathematical models of geophysical fluids and Earth-system processes. He has worked on convection in fluids with one or two buoyancy-changing scalars, on vortex dynamics, time series analysis, granular flows and ecological modeling, with a particular interest on Lagrangian methods for modeling marine plankton. Since he joined NYUAD he has developed a keen interest in understanding the environment of the Gulf region.
