Biography

• I first became involved with BAS whilst undertaking my Ph.D at the University of East Anglia. I was fortunate enough to visit the Halley VI Research Station during the 2015/16 season to install atmospheric CO2 and O2 monitoring equipment in the CASLab. The aim of this research was to use these measurements to detect and attribute carbon cycle processes that are fundamental to understanding the Southern Ocean carbon cycle.
• Upon finishing my Ph.D I began working for BAS as an Atmospheric Scientist at Halley during the 2017/18 season making meteorological observations and maintaining a suite of atmospheric instruments.
• In May 2018 I took on a new role as the Halley Automation Project Manager and Science Coordinator.
  • As Science Coordinator I coordinated the Halley Science, Engineering and Computing teams during the busy summer seasons, ensuring all experiments were maintained and science projects delivered.
  • As the Automation Project Manager I managed the successful delivery of the Halley Automation Project. This was achieved with a small team of highly skilled and dedicated engineers. Halley now operates remotely throughout the unoccupied winter months powered by a 30kW microturbine engine. BAS scientists and engineers are able to interact with power system and the experiments remotely in real time via a satellite link.
• I was Station Leader for Halley during the 2020/21 and 2022/23 seasons, alongside my automation project management and science coordinator roles.
• In May 2023 I took on the role of Halley Station Leader full time.
