I am a Research Scientist at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK. I am part of the Marine Physics and Ocean Climate group, and my primary research area is the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation or AMOC.

I am currently part of the MEZCAL (Methods for Extending the Horizontal Coverage of the AMOC Latitudinally and retrospectively) project, which is using indirect measurements, from satellites and autonomous floats, and machine learning to extend the spatial coverage of the AMOC across the whole North Atlantic, and reconstruct the AMOC backwards in time from historical data.

Prior to this I was a postdoctoral researcher with the Overturning in the Sub-Polar North Atlantic Programme (OSNAP), based at the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Science at the University of Miami. There I investigated the transport of Overflow Waters: deep, dense waters that originate in the Nordic Seas and spill over the Denmark Strait and Iceland-Scotland Ridge into the Iceland Basin and Irminger Sea. These mix with overlying waters and eventually form the deepest part of the southwards-flowing lower limb of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC).

I completed my PhD at the University of Southampton in early 2022. My PhD research involved reconstructing the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) at 26°N from historical data using a statistical model.
