Mathilde (she/her) is a DPhil student in the Climate Processes group supervised by Professor Philip Stier. Her research explores relationship between convective processes (e.g., storm updrafts) and the evolution and properties of clouds, including their impact on the large-scale climate.
Mathilde is driven by wanting to understand our planet and see accurate and reliable climate risk information available to communities that is interpretable and tailored to local needs. She holds a Bachelor of Science and a Diploma of Mathematical Sciences from the University of Melbourne, Australia, where she majored in atmospheric sciences and applied mathematics. In 2022, she completed the one-year Bachelor of Science Honours program in applied mathematics at Monash University, where her research was supported by Australia’s Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes. Mathilde has broad experience in climate and environmental research and services, having worked as a researcher and climate and data scientist with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, and at the University of Melbourne and Monash University.
Mathilde's research interests include regional climate extremes, clouds and convection, remote sensing and machine and deep learning.
Mathilde's research at the University of Oxford is supported by the 2023 Westfarmers General Sir John Monash Scholarship and Wadham College.
