About me

I have been a Research Assistant within the Centre for the Analysis of Time Series (CATS) at the London School of Economics since May 2010. I am currently involved in developing informative forecast systems for the NERC-funded EQUIP (End-to-end quantification of uncertainty for impacts prediction) project, which brings together climate modelling, statistical modelling and impacts communities to deliver risk-based predictions for decision-making under uncertainty, in the context of climate variability and change.

I have a background in physics and pursued both my undergraduate degree and postgraduate studies at the University of Surrey. I was awarded a PhD in theoretical nuclear physics in March 2011, which I completed under the supervision of Paul Stevenson, on the development of mean-field models for calculating ground-state and dynamical properties of atomic nuclei.

Research interests

  • Modelling nonlinear systems (and the limitations of large simulation models)
  • Interpretation of probabilistic forecasts
  • Nonlinear time series analysis
  • Data assimilation
  • End-to-end forecasting (and quantifying the associated uncertainties)
  • Extracting useful information from imperfect models
  • Decision-making in the face of uncertainty
