Principal developer of the LARS-WG stochastic weather generator (website), a computationally inexpensive tool to produce local scale climate scenarios based on output from global and regional climate models for impact assessments of climate change. LARS-WG has been used in more than 60 countries for research and in several Universities as an educational tool.

Principal co-developer of the Sirius wheat simulation model (website). Sirius is used in research by many scientists to understand crop responses to environmental variations, and in practice by farmers to optimize water and nitrogen applications.
