Research Interests
My research uses global coupled climate models to investigate the dynamics, impacts and future changes modes of climate variability. My research interests lie in the following areas:
- Single Model Initial-Condition Large Ensemble (SMILE ) modelling -investigate the forced response to greenhouse gases and internal variability
- Develop/leverage new tools - machine learning/artificial intelligence (e.g. neural networks, long-term short-term memory network, ensemble classifiers)
- Understand future projections - particularly projections of internal variability and extreme events
- ENSO research - dynamics, teleconnections and ENSO itself in a warming world
