Biography

Fadhlil completed his BSc in Applied Meteorology at IPB University, Indonesia, where he investigated the impact of the Madden-Julian Oscillation on extreme rainfall and temperature events in Indonesia and the influence of Indian Ocean Dipole on the equatorial Kelvin and Mixed-Rossby gravity waves. He was a member of the climate team in the G4AW-Spiceup project, which aims to provide low-cost weather predictions for pepper farmers in Indonesia. He is currently a PhD student from the University of Melbourne. His research mainly focuses on the impacts on tropical rainfall and circulation due to intraseasonal variabilities such as Madden-Julian oscillation, boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation, and convectively coupled equatorial waves. His current research quantifies the impacts of equatorial waves on tropical Australian rainfall and their characteristics in the S2S models.
