Climate Scientist
I am an Associate Professor at the Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). I am also a researcher at the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for the 21st Century Weather and the Australian Government's National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Climate Systems Hub.
My research focuses on the mechanisms by which the oceans influence regional climate. I am particularly interested in climate variability, atmospheric teleconnection patterns, interactions across tropical ocean basins, and future climate projections. My work examines how large-scale sea surface temperature patterns affect rainfall variability and drought in Australia and other regions. I am especially interested in how different types of El Niño–Southern Oscillation events influence atmospheric circulation, regional climate, and interactions with other oceanic basins.
