About me

My name is Lorenzo Clementi, I'm 38 years old from Ticino (Switzerland), I live in Tenero with my wife Wendy and our daughter.

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. Our group manages the Swiss weather radar network, we process satellite data and we are active in the field of short range forecasts, merging in real time data from various sources of meterological information.
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, ski touring in winter (see for example #montagna and #skimo). More recently, I started participating to some trail running events (for exemple #running).
I like traveling and I'm very fond of open-source software development.

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.
