Biography


Pavel Kiparisov is a researcher in the Agriculture, Forestry, and Ecosystem Services Research Group of the IIASA Biodiversity and Natural Resources Program. His research at IIASA focuses on investigating the secondary effects of nuclear detonations on global food systems as part of the ANFOS project and assessing the dangers posed by wildfires within the FLAM project. His wider research interests include studying the resilience of cities in the face of multiple catastrophes.

Between 2016 and 2020, Kiparisov was a program officer at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Budapest, where he implemented projects on trade policy, food security, and food losses, as well as waste reduction in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. In 2021, he joined the IIASA Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP) to conduct research on system vulnerability to flooding in Greater Jakarta. Between 2021 and 2022, he assisted the chair of the working group in the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) and developed software for the Space Applications Unit of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs in Vienna. Prior to joining IIASA, he was a tutor for the Geographic Information System at Central European University.

Kiparisov received his formal education at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow majoring in public policy, at the Central European University in Budapest and Vienna, where he focused on economic policy and, consequently, environmental sciences, and at the College of Europe in Bruges, where he studied EU international relations and diplomacy.
