About me
I am a DPhil student on the Environmental Research DTP working in Ray Pierrehumbert's research group. My project is all about looking at simple models of the Arctic and seeing how they resolve tipping points in sea ice cover. Highly simplified models of the Arctic can show a tipping point with abrupt sea ice loss in a warming climate - while more complicated global models tend not to. I increase the complexity of models of the Arctic atmosphere and ice cover to identify how different features of Arctic climate affect the representation of this phenomenon.
Outside of my research I'm a member of AOPP's Equality, Diversity & Inclusion working group and organise our weekly run club. I have worked in the university's undergraduate Physics teaching labs for the past two years.
Before my time in Oxford I studied Physics at the University of Cambridge, with a masters project on eddy parameterisations at the British Antarctic Survey.
In the future I'm excited in exploring work at the science-policy interface. I have previously done a placement at the UK's Government Office for Science in their National Security & Resilience team.
