PhD. 2010-2013, University of Reading

Investigating the response of global tropical cyclone activity to the phase of ENSO and climate change; specifically evaluating the driving mechanisms of changing tropical cyclone activity using a high-resolution coupled climate model, which is validated against reanalysis data and observations of tropical cyclones.

dissertation

Ocean wave scientist, 2010, UK Met Office

Adding a perturbed physics scheme to an Ocean wave model ensemble. The project involved running the spectral wave model Wave Watch 3 (WW3) with forcing from The Met Office Global and Regional Ensemble Prediction System (MOGREPS).

technical report; presentation

Research scientist. 2008, AIMS, Queensland, Australia

I completed six weeks voluntary work involved in the processing, visualisation and interpretation of a global ocean circulation model and Argo surface velocity drifter data for the Coral Triangle region utilising MATLAB. Output from my work on circulation and connectivity of the region was presented at an international workshop in November 2008.
