Biography
It is widely accepted that the world is undergoing a significant change in its weather and climate conditions. To understand the impact of these changes on environment and society, scientists are producing increasingly large amounts of data records through satellites, meteorological instruments and physical model simulations. However, despite the increasing availability of computational resources, current analytical tools have been out-paced by these ever-growing amounts of weather and climate data, therefore broadening the gap between “data” and “understanding”.
Savin's research revolves around addressing this gap, with emphasis on weather and climate extremes and their implications on environment and society in Australia and the Asia-Pacific regions. He made several important contributions to the field and published extensively, including papers in prestigious journal Nature Climate Change. He has attracted multiple external grants and was the recipient of the Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Research Excellence on two occasions: 2017 and 2022. Savin’s work also promotes collaboration between climate scientists, data scientists (machine learning, statistics and data mining researchers) and the end-user communities across multidisciplinary sectors globally.
