My research focuses on solar geoengineering, a proposal to directly alter the Earth’s energy budget to offset the warming effect of greenhouse gases. I work with climate and Earth system models to understand the potential impacts of climate change and solar geoengineering, and I collaborate with researchers from a range of disciplines to explore the broader implications of solar geoengineering. I am also the editorial director of SRM360, a non-profit organization that supports an informed, evidence-based discussion of sunlight reflection methods (SRM) by synthesizing, explaining, and communicating the science in a clear and accessible way. I previously worked at University College London as an assistant professor, at Harvard and the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies as a post-doc, and I earned my PhD at the University of Bristol.
