The challenges we face in science and broader society are diverse and complex. This is why I aspire to be an interdisciplinary researcher. Whilst environmental/climate science research is my priority, I also conduct research into gender and equity in STEM and science in popular fiction.

current projects

  • Investigating the variability in Himawari-8 thermal infrared thresholds for Australian dust detection

  • Applying a machine learning algorithm to historical Himawari-8 data to map dust storm occurrence over south-east Australia
