Short CV

Guillaume completed his BSc in theoretical physics at the University of Strasbourg (France) between 2016 and 2020. He obtained in 2022 the Master’s degree from the University Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (Lyon, France) in Ocean, Atmosphere and Climate Sciences, speciality Climate Sciences. He did his master’s internship at the Laboratory of Ocean Physics and Satellite Remote Sensing (Brest, France) on the life cycle of internal waves around New Caledonia based on the results of a CROCO simulation.

Guillaume is currently undertaking his PhD research at ICARUS (Maynooth University, Ireland) with Dr Gerard McCarthy in the framework of a Taighde Éireann – Research Ireland Centre for Applied Geosciences (iCRAG) funded project on the mid-20th century Atlantic circulation using modern observations and models (MACMOMO project). The focus of his research is on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and its variations over time. He studies the differences between past predictions of the global climate model and the reconstruction of the AMOC based on proxy data, with the insight of modern in-situ observation.
