Jorge Sebastián – also known as Seb – is a Senior Climate Scientist in Fathom’s technical team. In this role he focuses on stochastic modeling; taking complex climate data and translating it into something that is usable at a local level, to input into Fathom’s state-of-the-art flood models. Primarily, Seb spends his time coding and reading research papers to stay up-to-date with the latest hydrological advances.
He was attracted to Fathom for its culture of transparency and scientific integrity. He loves being able to work alongside leaders in the industry on cutting-edge research that isn’t just about numbers and models but making a difference to the planet and its people. Seb also enjoys working somewhere where he can spend his lunch arguing with colleagues about football, drinking fresh espresso and playing with the office dogs.
Prior to joining Fathom (and relocating to Bristol), Seb lived in Switzerland while working towards his PhD in Hydrological Modeling at ETH Zurich, which he completed in 2023. Before this, Seb was a civil engineer in his home country, Chile, where he completed his undergraduate and master studies.
When he’s not at work, Seb is a big fan of cycling, cooking and discovering new hiking trails.
