Giacomo graduated in physics at the University of Padua in 2006, with a thesis on the Rossby waves vertical propagation and their role in the onset of the Sudden Stratospheric Warmings. He then moved to the UK where he continued his studies at the Department of Meteorology (University of Reading). He spent many years studying the large-scale circulation at the mid-latitudes and he collaborated, among others, with Prof Sir Brian Hoskins, one of the world leading figures in atmospheric physics. In 2015 he moved to the private sector, first in the UK and subsequently in Italy. He now works for Illumia, a retailer company within the energy space, and leads the analytical department of the firm, where his team develops statistical and fundamental models to predict the weather and energy behaviour.
