Biography

I am intrigued by different possible worlds recorded in the geological archives of the Quaternary. 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. Besides my academic work, I paint watercolor and ink landscapes of the places I visit during fieldwork.
