Biography
I completed my PhD at The University of Adelaide in 2019. Since then, I have been a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Washington University in St. Louis, and most recently I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Australian National University. I am now at The University of Adelaide working as a DECRA Fellow in Climate Science.My research focuses on understanding climate variability on time scales of months to 100s of years. This includes using different types of data to understand how our climate is changing. I have a particular interest in the tropical Pacific (e.g. ENSO) and its effects on global rainfall. I also am interested in Australian droughts - including why they happen, and just how bad they could be.
