  Bangor University, 2010–2015
• Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (PGCertHE)
  2013
• MSc: Applied Physical Oceanography

I am a physical oceanographer with special interest in ocean modelling. I have experience of applying models to a broad range of research topics including marine renewable energy, past climate conditions, marine biosecurity and the aquaculture industry.

I have worked for several years as a physical oceanographer on a number projects, including:

• Menai Offshore Subsurface Shellfish Systems
• Shellfish Centre
• ECOSTRUCTURE
• Cockles
• SEACAMS and SEACAMS 2

as well as contributing to external projects (e.g., Angle Shark Project: Wales and SIARC) as an hydrodynamic- and biophysical modeller. In early 2023 I will be joining a 'blue carbon' project, the Convex Seascape Survey.

Particular areas of research interest include: numerical modelling (physical, biophysical), sediment dynamics, marine renewable energy, sea-level rise and climate change. 

I have a range of research interests in which PhD projects could be developed. Please contact me by email in the first instance regarding any of the following areas:

• Tidal modelling (past, present or future)
• Marine renewable energy
• Dispersal of marine organisms (including invasive species and aquaculture)

  Disgrifiad

  The NRN-LCEE was a bold, innovative pan-Wales initiative for Welsh research funded by Welsh Government and the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) as part of Sêr Cymru 1; comprising of partners from Bangor, Aberystwyth, Cardiff, South Wales and Swansea Universities, Centre for Ecology & Hydrology at Bangor, British Geological Survey Wales, and UK MetOffice. The NRN-LCEE aimed to promote excellent collaborative and interdisciplinary research within Wales into the sustainable use of natural resources for the provision of energy, water, food, and other ecosystem services; and explicitly encouraged interdisciplinary research across departments, universities, research centres, industry and third sector parties. As such, the NRN-LCEE was the catalyst to bring a diverse set of talented researchers and partners into new collaborations, in order to conduct innovative research that was highly pertinent on an international research agenda.
