Andrea Hahmann is a senior scientist in the Resource Assessment and Meteorology group of the Department of Wind Energy at the Danish Technical University (DTU Wind Energy). She started her studies at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil and obtained her PhD in Meteorology from the University of Utah. She has worked with atmospheric models for nearly 30 years. Before coming to the wind energy field, she worked at the University of Arizona and then at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. She now works on atmospheric modelling applied to wind energy resource assessment and the effect of climate change on renewable energy resources. She is a lead author in the upcoming IPCC AR6 Working Group III report.
