I'm a Postdoctoral Research Associate currently working on the Weather and Climate Science for Services Partnership: South East Asia Project FORSEA. My work involves assessment of recently developed Met Office Unified Model convection-permitting ensemble forecasts. My work focusses on quantifying the skill and spread of these ensemble forecasts to aid future model development.

My research interests include:

  • Tropical waves and their links to high impact weather in Southeast Asia.
  • Representation of the tropical climate and weather in coupled climate models and forecast models.
  • Dynamics and teleconnections of modes of variability (e.g. El Nino-Southern Oscillation) in the Tropical Pacific.
  • Uncertainty in future changes in tropical climate.
