  Working at Domino's was a very demanding job. I was often required to work 6 hour shifts six days a week at short notice.

  This 6 week full time job introduced me to an office environment.

  University of East Anglia

  Jul 2011 - Aug 2013

  This was a 10 week placement in which I started to create data files for a new database being developed by the UEA department which would be the first database of its kind. I mastered many skills such as the linux operating system. I became proficient with MATLAB modeling and also learnt in great depth about some of the current areas of research within seismology. It was a great opportunity to enhance my abilities at independent learning and to get a taste of what research is like. I was able to attend a Phd conference at Oxford university as part of the placement which was a fantastic opportunity to see where it is possible to go within geophysical research. Show less

  Research Co-investigator: HYDRA

  In wintertime, infrastructure in Great Britain (GB) is threatened by multiple significant meteorological hazards, and it is increasingly apparent that these interact in a complex yet poorly studied multi-hazard system. Taking the railway network as a use case, HYDRA is an exploratory project that aims to identify, quantify, and provisionally explain how the cooccurrence of six key GB HYDRo-meteorological wintertime extremes exAcerbates risk (i.e. extreme wind, storm surge, inland flooding, landslide, extreme cold, snow) now and in the future.
