Summary
I am currently studying for a QMEE PhD.
My primary research interest is to investigate wildfire models and to improve their capacity to represent the ecological impacts of future wildfire changes. I am also interested in investigating whether controls on wildfire vary regionally, and how this is represented by different fire models.
Currently, I am working on analysing the relationship between burnt area and different biophysical variables and other variables, such as above ground biomass. I will be using the INFERNO global fire model in perturbed-parameter experiments in order to help address the above questions.
