Milan Klöwer is a computational climate scientist at MIT where he develops prototypes for new climate models to predict climate change more accurately.
Milan received his PhD from the University of Oxford in 2022 and joined MIT afterwards. Previously, he studied climate physics and worked at research institutions in Germany, France and Norway, spent a winter in the Arctic and crossed the tropical Atlantic on a research vessel.
Beyond climate model development, he also works on forecasting feels-like temperatures to reduce the risk of heat illnesses. His research on the climate impacts of aviation has been cited by the IPCC’s 6th assessment report.
To voice the urgency of climate change and policies that affect it, he spoke to BBC radio 4 and 5, was interviewed for The Guardian, The Washington Post, among others and spoke at COP 27.
To make climate change education more available to the general public, he organised three editions of the Oxford School of Climate Change in 2019 and 2020. He started to facilitate Climate Fresks in the Boston area in 2023.
