Biography
«My research focuses on the physical mechanisms linking solar radiation, atmospheric composition, and ecosystem responses.
More broadly, I seek to improve the physical representation of environmental systems rather than simply improving predictive accuracy.
I am interested in collaborative research at the interface of atmospheric physics, climate science, and ecosystem modelling. For scientific inquiries or potential collaborations, please contact me by email»

Dr. Ismael López Lozano is an atmospheric scientist whose research lies at the interface between atmospheric physics and ecosystem science. He holds a PhD in Physics and Space Sciences from the University of Granada, where his research focused on aerosol–cloud–solar radiation interactions.
His work addresses how radiative processes propagate into climate–ecosystem feedbacks, with particular emphasis on spectral and diffuse solar radiation, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), and carbon-related responses in boreal and aquatic systems. He combines observations, modelling, and data-driven approaches to link atmospheric processes with ecosystem functioning.
Methodologically, his research combines atmospheric observations, process-based environmental modelling, remote sensing, and statistical learning to analyse environmental systems across multiple spatial and temporal scales. He works primarily with Python, R, and MATLAB, and has extensive experience with high-performance computing environments.
His interdisciplinary background combines atmospheric science, environmental physics, and limnology, together with experience in experimental measurements, data analysis, university teaching, and scientific mentoring.
