Biography

Julia Schmale is a professor at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), specializing in atmospheric science, with a focus on aerosol-cloud interactions and climate change in polar regions. She leads research initiatives that investigate the interactions between the atmosphere, cryosphere, biosphere, ocean, land, and anthroposphere to characterize climate-change relevant processes in extreme environments. Her work is vital in understanding the amplified effects of climate change and providing insights into how these processes influence the global environment. Julia has been awarded the SIE Teacher Award and the SMT Teacher Award for her contributions to education, and she frequently publishes articles in high-impact journals, contributing significantly to the knowledge of Arctic and Antarctic atmospheric processes. She also supervises PhD students, guiding future generations of scientists in exploring the complex relationships between climate variables and atmospheric chemistry within extreme environments.
