    Research overview

    My research interests centre upon using 3D general circulation (climate) models to investigate the climate dynamics and habitability of terrestrial, or "Earth-like", (exo)planets. In particular, I'm currently exploring the habitability of tidally-locked exoplanets, which are thought to be more common than asynchronously rotating planets like Earth but exhibit different patterns of atmospheric circulation and dynamics.
