About
Professional roles:
- Senior Research Fellow at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS), member of the NCAS Science Strategy Board
- Co-leader of the Predictability of Weather and Climate group at AOPP
- Joint position as a senior scientist in the Research Department of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) in Reading, working on seasonal forecasts
- Associate Editor of the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society
- Member of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Lighthouse Activity "Explaining and Predicting Earth System Change", Working Group 3 on Assessment of Current and Future Hazards
Areas of interest:
- Predictability and reliability of weather and climate on time scales of days, weeks, months, seasons and years
- Assessing model uncertainty in weather and climate forecasts
- Seamless prediction of weather and climate
- Multi-decadal variability in the climate system and its predictability
- Forecast-based attribution of extreme events
Physics Thrive is an informal mentoring network at Oxford Physics to discuss wellbeing, career progression, ED&I issues with anyone in the Department. I am a mentor in Physics Thrive and am happy to take time and listen to people’s questions, worries and concerns. I can offer to discuss their situation together and give a personal woman-in-science perspective on non-standard career paths, work-life balance and related aspects.

--> Open positions:
We currently have two opportunities for summer projects available:
- Extreme storms in past and future climates – Event attribution using medium-range weather forecasts
- Analysing the skill and usefulness of seasonal forecasts for the energy sector
Summer projects are ideal for undergraduate students from any university but candidates must have an existing right to work in the UK.
See our Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics internships webpage for details.
