Biography
My current research topic is land-atmosphere interaction, specifically using Earth Observation and model data to characterise land (particulary soil moisture) influence on the lower atmosphere (with a focus on extreme storms).
Current Projects
CASPER – In collaboration with Indian partners, evaluation of high-resolution forecast model behaviour over the Indian summer monsoon region with particular focus on extreme rainfall events.
PORCELAIN – UK collaboration with Chinese partners to understand the influence of land-atmosphere interactions on the East Asian monsoon.
Past Projects
VERA – Understanding the impact of vegetation on extreme storms in West Africa.
INCOMPASS – Major India-UK monsoon science collaboration, improving forecasting of the Indian summer monsoon through characterisation of key land-atmosphere feedbacks.
2016 - present : Researching land-atmosphere interaction at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Wallingford
2013 - 2016 : PhD Physics and Astronomy at University College London, performing research in molecular physics with application to extrasolar planetary atmospheres and industrial spectral studies. Demonstrator and teaching assistant in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences department.
2009 - 2013 : MSci Natural Sciences at University College London, specialising in astrophysics and geophysical sciences.
