Profile
I am a Research Fellow in the Institute for Climate and Atmospheric Science (ICAS), working on the Global Heat Attribution Project (GHAP). In this role I provide climate expertise to assess how human-driven climate change influences the likelihood and intensity of extreme heat events worldwide and the resultant heath impacts.
Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher on the CIDAR project at the University of Manchester, investigating the impacts of Amazonian deforestation using high-resolution climate model simulations. My PhD focused on the Congo Basin, where I developed remote sensing methods to detect fine-scale deforestation and quantified its effects on local temperature and vegetation.
