About

I am a second-year PhD student on the ILESLA (Interdisciplinary Life and Environmental Science Landscape Award) doctoral training programme, and a member of the Atmospheric Processes research group. Broadly, my research interests are on uncertainty propagation between unresolved and resolved scales in weather and climate models. In the past year I have conducted two mini research projects that approach this question from very different perspectives: quantifying error in the dynamical impact of deep convection over South America, and quantifying error in ERA5's radiation scheme and the impact on top of atmosphere radiation budget. My PhD will focus on quantifying error related to mis-specified propagation of kinetic energy between scales, and implications this has for predictability.

Prior to joining Oxford I received a scholarship to study a masters in Environmental Science at Stockholm University, and I hold a first class BSc in Mathematics and Philosophy from the University of Leeds.

In my free time, I love climbing, reading, and getting involved in climate outreach and activism.
