9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂ

Phil completed his DPhil in computational modelling of X-ray lasers in 1991 from the 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ of York, after which he held research positions in the 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ of York, Université Paris-Sud and the Czech Institute of Physics. He then spent ten years in the finance sector, designing and modelling approximately $2 billion of ‘big ticket’ asset financings.

He returned to academia via an MSc in quaternary science from the 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ of London (RHUL/UCL) in 2006. He joined the Open 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ in 2007, initially as a postdoctoral researcher on glacial-interglacial cycles.

Phil’s main focus is the development of computationally efficient Earth system models, with particular focus on interdisciplinary model coupling applications, integrated assessment and uncertainty quantification.
