Overview
I am a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Mathematics and Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter.
I am interested in understanding the large-scale dynamics of the atmosphere and climate of Earth (and sometimes other planets too). I use a combination of theory, numerical models, AI models, and observational data. Current research topics include:
- Stratospheric dynamics and stratosphere-troposphere coupling
- Subseasonal-to-seasonal predictability
- Simulation and attribution of extreme events
- AI modelling of atmospheric circulation
- Polar vortex dynamics of Mars, Titan, and Jupiter
Background
I joined Exeter in 2020, following a PhD in Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Planetary Physics at Oxford, a postdoc in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Johns Hopkins University, and a research fellowship in the School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol.
