Expert in interactions between atmospheric composition, weather and climate.
I am Senior Researcher at AOPP in the Physics Department, and Departmental Lecturer teaching and supervising Oxford Physics final year students. I am also Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy.
I hold leadership positions in major international activities, including World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) APARC Activities and European Space Agency (ESA) scientific consortia.
My research themes include the role of stratosphere-troposphere interactions for weather and climate extremes, the evolution of the ozone-layer under climate change, the use and development of models and observation platforms, and new ways to include key climate processes in state-of-the-art Earth System Models, NWP and Reanalysis systems.
I keep active collaborations with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), where I spent several years leading model improvements for atmospheric composition and the stratosphere, and investigating corresponding impacts on weather forecasting at different timescales.
Earlier I won a Marie Curie personal Fellowship that I carried out at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI), right after being a NERC Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, where I had also obtained my PhD.
I have HE teaching experience in graduate and undergraduate courses, have designed and taught courses on “Climate and Weather Prediction Models”, “Intelligent Instrumentation”, “The Ozone Layer” and "Atmospheric Physics", among other topics.
