Biography
I completed my DPhil in particle physics at Oxford in 2019, but spent most of 2017-2018 attached to Kamioka Observatory in Japan. I decided to look for research work in a more applied area, and took a position as a data scientist at the British Antarctic Survey AI Lab. There, I developed skills working with global climate model output, and an interest in human heat stress and climate change.
Research Summary
- [HEROIC](https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/environmental-design/research-projects/2022/jun/heroic-health-and-economic-impacts-reducing-overheating-cities) - evaluating the health and economic impacts of reducing overheating in cities
- Using machine learning to extract the location and extent of green roofs in London. Assessment of potential for green roof retrofit using LIDAR and GIS.
- Bias correction of regional climate model output with crowdsourced weather observations. (Brousse et al 2022)
- Investigating personal exposure to heat. Developing methods to better account for inter-personal variations in risk of overheating. Including the effects of the urban heat island, physiology, and buildings.
- STRIDE - housing features and risk of injury in children
- UCL Health of the Public Small Grant. Collaboration between IEDE and Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health.
- I extracted housing data from energy performance certificates. Working with epidemiologists, I estimated the impact of housing characteristics on risk of injury in children using regression of hospital episode statistics for a birth cohort. Paper in preparation.
