I am working on the development and scientific applications of the Potsdam Earth Model (POEM). My current interests are in paleoclimate modelling but I have broader scientific interests, including solar-terrestrial coupling and it's long-term impact on the Earth's atmosphere and climate. I am also interested in time series analysis, data assimilation techniques and mathematical inverse problems.

Dimitry Pokhotelov holds a diploma degree in geophysics from the Lomonosov Moscow State University (Russia). He obtained his PhD in engineering sciences at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College (NH, USA) with a thesis in the field of numerical modelling of the Earth's middle/upper atmosphere and ionosphere. Since 2003 he has been working in the fields of numerical modeling and remote sensing of the Earth's space environment and atmosphere, moving in 2017 to the Leibniz Institute for Atmospheric Physics. In 2024 he has joined the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, where he currently works on the development and scientific applications of the Potsdam Earth Model (POEM).
