RESEARCH INTERESTS

My PhD was in particle physics, on diffractively produced Z bosons. My research interests are in quantifying uncertainty in predictions from earth system models. I'm particularly interested in Bayesian approaches to this problem, in which probability is a degree of ‘belief’ based on current information, rather than an observed frequency.

I'm funded by the EU Framework 7 programme ice2sea, which aims to improve projections of ...
