As a final year PhD student in Applied Mathematics and Climate Science at the University of Cambridge and the British Antarctic Survey, I am passionate about understanding long-term climate variation and impacts using data science and machine learning. I have developed and applied big data analytics and computation skills using Slurm supercomputing and cutting-edge international climate models, leading to multiple publications and presentations.
I have also gained valuable experience working on climate and techno-economic models through work and placements at the UK Met Office and the UK Committee on Climate Change, where I contributed to the techno-economic modelling of UK heat supply and the organisation of an international climate councils network. Additionally, I have enhanced my supervisory, teaching, and project management skills through assisting in the supervision and direction of two undergraduate research projects, teaching first year Physics students, and completing a successful research project on climate tipping points as a Research Fellow at the Existential Risk Alliance. I am interested in pursuing a career that combines my data science and climate expertise with my interest in climate change, climate adaptation, and effective altruism.

Asymmetries in the Southern Ocean contribution to global heat and carbon uptake
New Paper: The changing heat and carbon uptake of the Southern Ocean
Our exciting new study, led by Professor Ric Williams, shows that the Southern Ocean has accounted for 83% of global ocean heat uptake from 1861-2005 and will contribute 52 ±5% under middle-of-the-road (SSP2-4.5) climate projections. This reduces the historical hemispheric contrast with the Southern Ocean absorbing vastly more heat than the Northern Hemisphere, likely due to aerosol forcing over the Northern Hemisphere.

World Oceans Day at the National Maritime Museum
I recently represented the British Antarctic Survey for World Oceans Day at the National Maritime Museum. We had a fantastic day introducing people of all ages to Antarctic exploration and the mysteries of the polar oceans.
