Bsc, MSc, PhD
Expertise
I use climate model output and observational data to study Sudden Stratospheric Warmings, and their links with extreme surface weather. The 2018 "Beast from the East", was preceded around two weeks earlier by such an event.

Biography
I am a Research Associate in the Climate Dynamics group, a part of the Bristol Research Initiative for the Dynamic Global Environment (BRIDGE). I started work at Bristol in January 2020. From 2017 to 2019 I worked as a research assistant at the University of Lincoln, developing seasonal forecasting using a machine-learning approach and was also involved in teaching undergraduate students. I gained my PhD from the University of Sheffield in 2016, studying North Atlantic jetstream variability and predictability. Prior to this I gained my MSc in Polar and Alpine Change, also at the University of Sheffield, with a dissertation focussing on decadal sea-ice variability in Baffin Bay.
