About
Professional roles: 
- Principal Research Fellow at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS)
- Site lead for NCAS Oxford
- 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
- Member of the NCAS Science Strategy Board
- Chief 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
- Hurricanes in a changing climate
- Use of forecasts in real-world decisions (e.g. early warning system for dengue, seasonal forecasting for agricultural applications)
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.
