Work & projects
Some things I do on the side.
Spatio-Temporal Correlation Between Precipitation and Vegetation Dynamics in the Brazil-Cerrado Region
Correlates 24 years of CHIRPS precipitation against MODIS NDVI across Brazil's Cerrado biome, finding a delayed vegetation response to rainfall (strongest positive correlation at a 3-4 month lag) — evidence of ecological memory in the biome.
ENSO Seasonal Forecasting
CNN + Ridge + RF ensemble that forecasts the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (Niño3.4 index) 1–6 months ahead from tropical Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies. Achieves Pearson correlation 0.94 at 1-month lead, degrading to 0.65 at 6-month lead.
Climate Downscaling with a ResNet
Trained a ResNet to downscale ERA5 2m temperature from 5.625° to 2.8125° resolution, porting the ClimateLearn NeurIPS 2022 tutorial to the current API. Test RMSE 3.64K, Pearson correlation 0.989.
Emergency Crisis Responder
Respond to emergency call-outs (fires, flooding, power cuts, water-related) in your local area, providing emotional and practical support such as distributing clothing, food or water during and after an emergency.
UK Floorball Federation
Coordinated national university leagues and regional sports tournaments for over 125 players and 10 teams, formed new clubs which promoted sports accessibility, and created content for self-ran social media, whilst sourcing sponsorship funding.
ISSTT
Competed internationally at the International Student Streethockey Tournament in Enschede, Netherlands, alongside a host of European university teams. A great week of floorball and good company.
The Ugly Fruit Group
A social enterprise set up in 2019 by Durham University students that focuses on tackling food poverty and reducing local food waste through reusing and donating fruit and vegetables that would have otherwise been wasted.
Powerlifting Coach
Achieved a Level 2 Coaching qualification with British Powerlifting, the national governing body for the sport in the UK.
British Sign Language
Completed a Level 1 qualification in British Sign Language (BSL).
