Biography

My research explores paleoclimate dynamics relevant to past and future human-environment interactions. During my undergraduate studies in Cambridge Geography, I reconstructed rapid changes in deep-sea current speed during the last deglaciation using marine sediment cores. Subsequently, I was awarded the EFG scholarship to pursue an MPhil in Quantitative Climate and Environmental Science, where I worked on Asian monsoon dynamics during the last interglacial period using cave speleothem records and isotope-enabled Earth System Models. My PhD research uses Antarctic and Greenland ice cores to constrain the interglacial evolution of methane, exploring the role of ancient agriculture in changing global environments. I also conduct independent research in the history and philosophy of science, in particular 20th century physics. Besides my academic work, I paint watercolor and ink landscapes of the places I visit during fieldwork. I seek to widen our imagination of the ways of collectively inhabiting the Earth. I am intrigued by different possible worlds recorded in the geological archives of the Quaternary.
