I am a dedicated water and climate scientist whose journey began with a PhD from the Water Research Centre at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia. I am now an integral part of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes (CLEX) at UNSW Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC).

My work revolves around understanding and predicting extreme weather events, like heavy rainfall or severe droughts, at a local level. My key project, “Comprehensive Bias Correction of Regional Climate Model Boundary Conditions for Simulation of Hydrologic Extremes,” aimed to improve the accuracy of climate predictions in specific areas.

I focus on enhancing regional climate models – these are tools used to predict weather patterns in specific regions. I utilise the latest global data to make these predictions more reliable and detailed, especially concerning how they change over time and in different places. My main interest lies in making these models better at predicting extreme weather events, which is crucial for preparing and protecting communities in regions such as Australasia and the Pacific.

In simpler terms, I work using advanced technology and data to understand and project extreme weather, helping us prepare for and adapt to our changing environment.
