Summary:
Anna Lombardi works as a Climate Data Visualiser in the Climate Intelligence team.
She has an interdisciplinary background spanning across physics, science communication and information design. Anna has completed a PhD in experimental physics at the University of Lyon (France) and worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Cambridge, working across the domains of nano-optics, spectroscopy and plasmonics. In 2018 she obtained a MSc in science communication from the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste (Italy).
Before joining ECMWF, she spent five years at The Times and The Sunday Times in London as a senior data and graphics journalist, specialising in visual journalism and finding stories in data.
