Research Scientist at NCAS, University of Reading, developing operational climate attribution services with ECMWF.

United Kingdom
Message

At the National Centre for Atmospheric Sciences (NCAS), University of Reading, I’m developing and comparing climate attribution approaches and building operational climate attribution services with ECMWF, the UK Met Office, and KNMI.

Previously, at Iowa State University, I researched tropical cyclones through coupled atmosphere-ocean modeling and storm surge projections. My work includes examining how projected hurricane strengthening and sea-level rise affect future storm surge events, alongside research on climate extremes and West African climate.
