Overview
I am a oceanographer that exploits a synergy of in situ, satellite and model reanalysis observations to study and monitor ocean variability and ocean-atmosphere interactions. My research has covered topics including the role that ocean biology plays in controlling the oceanic carbon sink variability, and how mesoscale features in the form of eddies affect the air-sea carbon exchange.
I am part of Dr Jamie Shutler's research group (JamieLab) and my research code is deposited on the JamieLab Github.
Broad research specialisms:
- Satellite Earth observation, remote sensing and satellite accuracy assessment
- Physcial, biological and chemical oceanography
- Air-sea interactions with a focus on carbon exchange
- Ocean mesoscale eddies
- Oceanography applications of neural network approaches
Qualifications
PhD in Physical Geography (University of Exeter)
BSc Ocean Science (1st class honours, University of Plymouth)

Research interests
My research is focussed on the role that the ocean plays in controlling and modulating our climate and the drawdown of carbon from the atmosphere. This research involves using a synergy of satellite Earth observation, in situ and modelled data in combination with neural network techniques.
Research projects
I have contributed to research projects including:
- ESA Scope (2023 - present)
- OceanICU (2023 - present)
- Convex Seascape Survey (2023 - present)
- AMT4CO2Flux (2022)
