I am a research fellow in climate impacts with a focus on the developing world. My interests are in climate impacts, whereby we understand the broad scale changes caused by climate change but need to focus on how these changes affect human livelihoods. I apply climate change projections to various impact models to assess the impacts, these impacts are important for policy makers. These impacts also provide the general public with a tangible definition of how climate change will affect their lives.
I am familiar with technical computing in MATLAB, including large dataset analysis, plotting and mapping. I have also used several crop models, GLAM, ORCHIDEE-Crop and APSIM. I typically run crop models as part of future climate simulations to identify vulnerable regions and assess the efficacy of adaptation methods.
When not working on agriculture I have an interest in other climate impacts, including heat stress impact on people. In this topic I analyse climate model outputs and estimate the intensity and frequency of heat stress events in the developing world.
My current project title is "Climate resilient livelihoods" whereby I am focusing on providing information to policy makers to reduce vulnerability of people in the developing world to climate shocks. One aspect of this includes using crop residue as a source of bioenergy.
As an intense user of data from models, I am interested in uncertainties and am keenly aware of the value of bias correction.
