Biography
I am currently 0.5 FTE Teaching Fellow and 0.5 Research Fellow. I teach Numerical Solutions to PDEs and Operations Research to third and second year undergraduate Mathematics students respectively and mathematics to first year Civil and Chemical Engineering students.
My research interests are in Data Assimilation. I currently supervise one MMath project in Data Assimilation.
I am also currently a member of a team of Teaching Fellows in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences actively involved in pedagogical research into evaluating Flipped Learning.

Data assimilation
Using MODIS satellite white sky and black sky albedo data to retrieve the Leaf Area Index at the Earth's surface and the parameters of the terrestrial radiative transfer model used including clumping factor. Funded by NCEO.
Conferences presentations
National Centre for Earth Observation's "Earth Observation into the Future" conference, September 2018, Birmingham, UK - POSTER.
7th International Symposium on Data Assimilation, January 2019, Kobe, Japan - POSTER.
