Weather Trends International

Michael Ferrari is the Vice President of Applied Technology and Commodity Research at Weather Trends International. He has several years of research experience which span the theoretical and applied domains of the geophysical and biophysical sciences. At WTI he extends these ideas, and incorporates new ways to visualize the data towards the construction of trading strategies in the global commodity sector. Before joining WTI, Michael was a commodity research scientist and trader where he was primarily involved with global climate forecasting, remote sensing analysis and algorithm development, applied technology research, and commodity analysis/modeling. In addition to his role at WTI, he is currently completing his PhD from Rutgers (post qualifying exam) where his research focuses on physical hydroclimatology and environmental evolution. Michael has published and presented research findings in several areas, including global climate modeling, pattern recognition, biometeorology, environmental metagenomics, and climate economics. He likes anything to do with water, in liquid or frozen state.
