Career history:

I joined the University of Edinburgh in September 2021 as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Antarctic Ice Sheet Uncertainty Quantification. Before I was a Research Scientist at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton, where I deliver research in the area of marine surface climate, including the development, evaluation and statistical analysis of marine surface meteorological observations. My PhD background is in large scale glacier modelling focused on ocean-glacier interaction. I worked developing the calving parametrisation for the Open Global Glacier Model (written in Python) at the University of Bremen (Centre for Marine Environmental Sciences, DE) and while making several research stays at the University of Innsbruck (AT). Now as a post-doc at the University of Edinburgh I will be working and developing Fenics_ice; a finite element model framework written also in Python that quantifies the initialization uncertainty for time-dependent ice sheet models.
