Experience

  1. Postdoctoral Research Associate in Physical Oceanography

    University of Cambridge — Department of Applied Maths and Theoretical Physics
    Researching Southern Ocean and Atlantic water-mass dynamics, Antarctic shelf processes, and overturning circulation using observations, inverse methods, and machine learning.
    Developing reproducible Python workflows (xarray, dask, scikit-learn, Cartopy) for large-scale NetCDF/Zarr datasets on the CSD3 HPC cluster.

  2. Graduate Teaching Assistant

    Imperial College London & University of Cambridge
    Taught undergraduate courses in Fluid Mechanics and Computational Methods; supervised MSc research projects on diagnosing Antarctic Bottom Water overturning with machine learning.

  3. Data Analyst / Researcher (Oxford African Climates, DRYCAB)

    University of Oxford — School of Geography & the Environment
    Met Office Academic Partnership–funded project on southern African climate dynamics.
    Demonstrated the role of thermally induced lows in strengthening the Congo Air Boundary; contributed to the DRYCAB programme.

  4. MSc Dissertation Researcher

    University of Reading — Department of Meteorology
    Characterised Congo Air Boundary reformation dynamics; linked dry-air supply to mid-latitude Rossby wave troughs using a FORTRAN Lagrangian parcel tracker with ERA5 data.

  5. Undergraduate Dissertation Researcher

    University of Oxford — School of Geography & the Environment
    Used CMIP5 ensemble to study end-century vertical velocity and rainfall anomalies; linked anomalous subsidence to projected southern African drying.
