Biography

Research Interests:

My current research topic is land-atmosphere interaction, in particular using Earth Observation data to identify soil moisture-atmosphere feedbacks.

Recent and current projects:

INCOMPASS: A major Anglo-Indian collaboration jointly funded by NERC and the Indian Ministry of Earth Sciences. This project aims to improve forecasting of the Indian summer monsoon through characterisation of land-atmosphere feedbacks.

PORCELAIN: Funded by the Newton Fund via the Met Office. The aim is to study land-atmosphere interactions and their influence on the East Asian monsoon to improve weather and climate models over China.


Brief CV:

2016 - present : Researching land-atmosphere interaction at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Wallingford

2013 - 2016 : PhD Physics and Astronomy at University College London, performing research in molecular physics in the context of extrasolar planetary atmospheres and industrial spectral studies.

2009 - 2013 : MSci Natural Sciences at University College London, specialising in astrophysics and geophysical sciences.
