I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Colorado State University, working with Jim Hurrell and Brooke Anderson. My research focuses on the human health impacts of climate intervention, particularly Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI). My Ph.D. examined stratospheric aerosols and their impacts - from evaluating the UK Earth System Model against a recent volcanic eruption, to assessing the climate impacts of multiple SAI strategies. I am now broadening into health research, combining climate science with epidemiological methods to understand how SAI could affect air quality and human health worldwide.
