I hold a NERC Independent Research Fellowship in Oceanography and Glaciology at the University of Edinburgh. My research centres on understanding the interaction between the North Atlantic Ocean and the Greenland Ice Sheet through glacial fjords, with a view to improving projections of ice sheet mass loss and freshwater export to the ocean.

I sit on the steering groups of the Greenland Ice Ocean Science Network and the Joint Commission on Ice-Ocean Interactions. I recently led the development of ocean boundary conditions for Greenland ice sheet models taking part in ISMIP6. Previously, I was a Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews with Prof. Doug Benn, and a Postdoctoral Scholar at Scripps Institution of Oceanography with Prof. Fiamma Straneo.

I completed my PhD - titled 'Modeling submarine melt rates at tidewater glaciers in Greenland' - with Professor Pete Nienow at the University of Edinburgh in August 2017. My background is in Mathematics and Physics; I achieved a Distinction in Part III Mathematics from the University of Cambridge in 2012 and a First Class Honours in Mathematics and Physics from the University of Edinburgh in 2011.
