History: prior to moving to Leeds, during 2006-2008 I was working in the Atmospheric Physics Group at the University of Toronto, with Dick Peltier. During 2003-2005 I was working at the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington, Seattle USA, initially supervised by Jim Holton. During 2002, I was working with Roger Grimshaw in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Loughborough University, UK. During 1996-2000 I completed a Ph.D., under the supervision of Michael McIntyre, at the Department of Applied Maths and Theoretical Physics, at the University of Cambridge, UK.
