My group works at the crossroad of climate science and physical volcanology, and aims to help societies face climate change and natural hazards. Our three core research themes are:

1) Understanding the rise and dispersion of ash and gas columns produced by explosive volcanic eruptions, and associated hazards for our society.

2) Understanding how explosive volcanic eruptions affect climate, both in the past and in the future.

3) Understanding how climate change could affect volcanic processes and, in turn, the ash hazards and climatic impacts of volcanic eruptions.

We use numerical modelling, laboratory experiments, satellite remote sensing and field studies to investigate these topics. Please check my website for more information! Don’t hesitate me to contact me to discuss project ideas, e.g. postdoctoral fellowship applications or PhD scholarship applications. Most postdoctoral fellowship schemes relevant to join Oxford have deadlines between August and March.

To be updated soon! I look forward to contributing to teaching topics in volcanology, climate science, quantitative methods for Earth scientists and geophysics.
