I am an Applied Mathematician specialising in the development of ice-sheet models using the finite element softwares Elmer/Ice and Firedrake. I work on the implementation of numerical methods and the improvement of the model representation of ice-flow dynamics. Previous experience also includes the validation of numerical models with geophysical data of ice stratigraphy and fabric. As part of my Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship, I am currently developing novel numerical stabilisation schemes for anisotropic ice-sheet models.

I have a background in Applied Mathematics with a focus on fluid dynamics, and hold a Master’s degree in Mathematics from the University of St Andrews. I completed my PhD in ice-sheet modelling at the University of Tübingen and the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Germany, where I developed 3D, full Stokes models of pinning points in Antarctica. Afterwards, I joined the Computational Mathematics group at Stockholm University where my research was focused on developing numerical stabilisation schemes for marine ice-sheet models of varying complexity, from full Stokes to the Shallow Shelf Approximation. During my time at Stockholm University, I also lectured the undergraduate course Programming for Physicists.

1. Numerical Stabilisation of Anisotropic Ice-Sheet Models

   About The largest source of uncertainty in sea-level projections is the Antarctic Ice Sheet and can partly be attributed to the computational restrictions of modelling such large bodies of ice. […]
