- Lecturer, Climate Science Geography, The University of Melbourne
I am a lecturer in climate science who specialises in climate variability of the tropics and extra-tropics across seasonal to decadal time scales. My research interests include: the El Niño Southern Oscillation and its related teleconnections, regimes influencing droughts and precipitation anomalies, advanced statistical and machine learning methods and their dynamical links, implications and applications.
