About

I am fascinated by planetary atmospheres. In my research, I try to unravel the complexity of atmospheric processes on terrestrial planets using an hierarchy of 3D climate models. I am particularly interested in the role of convection and clouds in the planetary habitability. I am a member of the Exoclimatology Theory Group (ETG), where we use an hierarchy of numerical models (such as the Met Office Unified Model and LFRic) to study the diverse zoo of planetary climates.

Since 2025, I am a Lecturer in the Astrophysics group at the University of Bristol. Before that, I was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Exeter where I worked with Nathan Mayne and Hugo Lambert on simulating atmospheres of terrestrial exoplanets. I got a PhD at the University of East Anglia under the supervision of Ian Renfrew and Thomas Spengler (University of Bergen). My PhD research was focused on the meteorology of high-latitude mesoscale cyclones, known as polar lows, and how their occurrence and evolution are affected by orography and sea ice in the Arctic. I got my MSc-equivalent degree - Specialist Diploma in Meteorology and Climatology - at the Moscow State University.
