Michelle Cipullo is an expert in atmospheric sciences, specializing in the development of natural catastrophe models for various atmospheric perils. With over a decade of experience in modeling extreme weather events, she currently serves as the associate director at Impact Forecasting, a team within Aon dedicated to catastrophe modeling. Recently, she contributed to the development of the new Impact Forecasting US Severe Convective Storm model.

Before joining Aon, she was an atmospheric modeler at Jupiter Intelligence, where she focused on climate change risk assessment and the long-term implications of various atmospheric perils worldwide. Her career also includes seven years at AIR Worldwide, where she worked in the research department, contributing to the creation of catastrophe models for atmospheric perils, including convective storm models and extratropical cyclone models for the US, Canada, and Europe.

Michelle earned her Master of Science in Atmospheric Science from North Carolina State University. Her research thesis examined the risks associated with European Windstorms and the potential impacts of climate change on these weather systems.
