Experience
Postdoctoral Scholar
Climate Systems Engineering initiative (CSEi), Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth, The University of Chicago
Modelling Antarctic ice-sheet and ice-shelf dynamics to assess proposed interventions aimed at slowing glacial ice loss, and to quantify their effectiveness, risks and consequences for long-term sea-level rise.
Graduate Researcher
Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania / Australian Antarctic Program Partnership
Coupled ice-sheet, subglacial hydrology and ice–ocean modelling of the Wilkes Subglacial Basin, East Antarctica, using Elmer/Ice. Co-convenor of the WilkesMIP model intercomparison project.
