I am an Associate Professor of Physics of Exoplanet Atmospheres in the Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Planetary Physics sub-Department of the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford. My research is focused on theoretical and numerical studies of the atmospheric dynamics and climate of exoplanets. This work covers a broad range of planetary climates, including the extreme atmospheres of close-in extrasolar gas giant (or "hot Jupiter") planets, atmospheres of temperate Earth-sized rocky planets, and everything in between. If you're interested in collaborating, coming to Oxford as a postdoc, or working with me for a DPhil, please don't hesitate to reach out.
