Duncan Watson-Parris previously worked as a senior research associate at the University of Oxford. His research addresses the representation of aerosols and clouds within climate models. Aerosols and clouds together represent some of greatest challenges for climate models, and Dr. Watson-Parris has pioneered strategies to capitalize on the machinery of data science in tackling these research problems. He was hired under the Chancellor’s Joint FTE initiative to promote interdisciplinary research and holds a joint appointment with Scripps Institute of Oceanography.
