Simona Meiler

Simona Meiler is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University, supported by an SNSF Postdoc.Mobility fellowship. She is a weather and climate risk scientist studying how hazard, exposure, and vulnerability shape the risks and impacts of extreme weather events in a changing climate. Her work combines modeling and systems thinking to study tropical cyclone risk, uncertainty and sensitivity analysis, human displacement, post-disaster recovery, and systemic risk, with the aim of translating model insights into climate-resilient decision-making. Simona completed her PhD at ETH Zurich. Outside of academia, she is a former Olympic snowboarder and enjoys mountain biking, hiking, and CrossFit.
