Meet AI Hub Tutor, Dr. Ron Sarafian

In addition to Ron’s postdoctoral research in the Department of Earth and Planetary Science at the Weizmann Institute of Science in the lab of Prof. Yinon Rudich, Ron spends time mentoring MSc. and PhD students to solve their scientific problems by leveraging the power of AI.

Ron shares, “I enjoy tackling and solving complex problems, and exploring new domains of study excites me. My approach is to leverage state-of-the-art scientific understanding to design efficient machine learning frameworks where the data tells the story. That is what motivated me to join the AI Hub—a place where I can do exactly that.”

🌦️ Ron’s research focuses on AI models for climate, weather, and spatial-temporal environmental systems. He develops innovative deep-learning architectures to tackle the challenges of forecasting extreme and rare events, such as dust storms, precipitation extremes, flash floods, and droughts.

🌍 Within Ron’s AI ventures, he has had the opportunity to advance AI collaborations overseas via the MBZUAI-WIS Joint Program for Artificial Intelligence Research.
