Research

My research interests lie in natural hazards and their interactions with a changing climate, with a particular focus on coastal areas. I work at the interface of geospatial science and climate risk, using quantitative, data-driven approaches to understand and model complex environmental processes.

More specifically, my academic interests include:

  • Natural hazard processes and multi-hazard risk under climate change

  • Remote sensing for environmental monitoring

  • Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for spatial modelling and decision support

  • Quantitative risk assessment and climate risk analytics

  • Machine learning and statistical modelling for environmental and hazard applications

  • Data analysis, integration and visualization for large geospatial and climate datasets

Thesis

Dynamic coastal risk for a changing climate

Funding sources

Biography

I am a Postgraduate Researcher in Earth and Environmental Sciences at Cardiff University, researching the effect of coastal hazards on Wales coast. I use geospatial sciences, climate modelling and data analysis to study how coasts respond to present and future climate hazards, building on both academic training and industry experience.
