Research

My general scientific interest lies in understanding how cyclones of all sorts evolve in different climates, including, but not restricted to, the warming climate of the next decades. 

As a PDRA in the Huracán project, I look more precisely into understanding and quantifying the risk posed by Atlantic Hurricanes to the British Isles and Europe. My work focuses on understanding the variability of the events on time scales of several decades, using datasets spanning the entire 20th century.
