Summary
Research Associate in Earth Systems Modelling - Leverhulme Centre for Wildfires, Environment and Society
Based at the Leverhulme Centre for Wildfires, Environment and Society, my research involves using state-of-the-art computer models to help researchers across the Centre understand the impacts of wildfire on the atmosphere and air quality, and predict how fire regimes may evolve under a changing climate.
Research Interests
• Climate modelling; global and regional climate change
• Composition – climate – air quality interactions
• Radiative forcing – climate response relationships
• Climate and environmental policy
Education
PhD in Atmospheric Physics, Imperial College London, UK (2016)
MPhysPhil in Physics and Philosophy, University of Oxford, UK (2011)
