Responsibilities

I work as Chief assistant professor at the National Center for Public Health and Analysis (NCPHA) of the Ministry of Health and author for Climateka.bg. I have a doctoral degree in "Climatology" obtained from the Sofia university "St. Kliment Ohridski". I have been dealing with the impact of climate change on human health since 2008, specialising many times abroad. I am also the scientific secretary of the Bulgarian Medical Geography Society, hub manager of the Climate KIC program for the NCPHA (2021-2023) and organiser of the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change in Bulgaria. In 2023 I won the European Meteorological Society Journalistic Award, as well as second place in the "Economics" category at the Web report 2023 competition, as well as third place in the "Online Media" category at the National Competition for Green journalism in 2022.
