Biography
I obtained my undergraduate degree in Mathematics with Engineering from the University of Nottingham in 2009. I then completed a one-year taught masters in Applied Meteorology and Climatology at the University of Birmingham before working as a scientific software developer for two years at a dispersion modelling company in Cambridge (CERC). I returned to Birmingham to complete my PhD in the field of meteorology, looking specifically at improving turbulence parameterisations in large-eddy simulation (LES) models for boundary-layer-scale and street-canyon-scale flows. I then took a postdoctoral researcher position at the University of Cambridge before briefly returning to CERC, and finally moving to Leeds to start my current role.
