Biography:
I am a PhD student at the University of York, working in the Wolfson Atmospheric Chemistry Laboratories under Prof Mat Evans. My project looks at global climate models, examining the causes of different predictions of these models and aiming to separate them into differences in the chemistry, physics and emissions of the models. This is crucial, as if we can better understand the differences in model outputs, we can reduce uncertainties in the future, thus improving policy recommendations.
I previously studied for an Integrated Masters in Chemistry at York, graduating in 2024. My MChem project was also based in WACL, looking at implementing the gas-phase formation of iodic acid (HIO3) in a global chemical model (GEOS-Chem) to determine its contribution to the gas- and aerosol-phase in the troposphere, and evaluating the current uncertainties with regards to the modelling of iodine compounds. Outside of my studies, I row competitively for the University, am a member of a local church, and enjoy horse riding and music.
