º£½ÇÉçÇø

Phil completed his DPhil in computational modelling of X-ray lasers in 1991 from the º£½ÇÉçÇø of York, after which he held research positions in the º£½ÇÉçÇø 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 º£½ÇÉçÇø of London (RHUL/UCL) in 2006. He joined the Open º£½ÇÉçÇø 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.
