Job title:

Lecturer of Geography

Biography:

I joined YSJU in 2026 as a Lecturer in Geography. My primary interests are in game-based approaches in geosciences, particularly at the nexus of games and numerical modelling. Games can be 'playable systems' and help us make sense of the world, as well as being powerful pedagogical and communication tools. As a river scientist by background, with specialism in geomorphology and hydrology, my work has a focus on flood risk and resilience. Before joining YSJU I was a Senior Technical Advisor at the Environment Agency, part of the Flood Hydrology Improvements Programme (2021-2025). Before that, I was a Research Fellow in Flood Resilience at the University of Hull's Energy and Environment Institute (2019-2021), where I founded and ran the Earth Arcade project. I have a PhD in Hydromemore...
