Welcome to my Homepage...

I am currently doing a Ph.D. at the University of Leeds under the supervision of Prof. Alan Haywood, Dr. Daniel Lunt (Bristol) and Prof. Jane Francis. My project is investigating the ‘Sensitivity of Pliocene Ice Sheets to Orbital Cycles’. Broadly speaking my research interests lie in climate and ice sheet modelling, palaeoclimatology and palaeoglaciology. My specific research project concentrates on how the Earth's ice sheets responded to orbital forcing during past periods of global warmth, especially the mid-Pliocene (3.3 to 3.0 million years ago).

I am also interested in promoting education of the next generation of scientists and encouraging networking between early career scientists. Currently I am the elected Secretary of the UK Polar Network (UKPN). UKPN is an organisation run by Ph.D. students and post-docs, which aims to support early career scientists, to provide a networking framework to enhance scientific collaboration and to promote education of children and adults about polar issues.
