Team

I lead a team across two research institutes, the AI Lab at the British Antarctic Survey and a group under the Environment and Sustainability theme at The Alan Turing Institute. We focus on the application of AI for environmental science, decarbonising polar operations, and the development of digital twins of the natural environment.
