My research focuses on developing statistical methods for analysing the performance of forecasts. I received my PhD in Statistics from Lancaster University and worked for four years in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading before joining Exeter in 2007. I held a research fellowship with the National Centre for Atmospheric Science from 2004 to 2008. I am a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society and an Associate Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society. I received the LF Richardson Prize from the Royal Meteorological Society in 2015 for my work on analysing ensemble forecasts.
