About me

My name is Lorenzo Clementi, I'm 36 years old from Ticino (Switzerland), I live in Tenero with my wife Wendy.

When I'm not in the mountains, you can find me in Capriasca (where I grew up), in Lugano (my hometown) or in Olivone (Rivöi), in the Blenio Valley, starting point for many adventures in the mountains.

Studies and work

I work in the Radar, Satellites and Nowcasting Group (MDR) at MeteoSwiss in Locarno. Main fields of interest of our group are short range forecasts merging in real time radar and satellite data as well as other sources of meterological information (e.g. ground stations).
In 2008 I obtained a MSc in Computer Science (major) and Geography at the University of Fribourg (Switzerland).

Hobbies

I like open air sports, especially in the mountains: I regularly practice some mountaineering, mountain-biking and trekking in summer and ski touring in winter (see for example #montagna and #skimo). More recently, I started participating to some trail running events (for exemple #running).
I also like traveling and I'm curious about everything related to computer science, especially software and web development. I am also very fond of free software and Linux.

In 2003 I established the page www.sosto.net that since 2006 has become a blog where I post mostly reports about excursions in the mountains of Ticino.
