Isabella Lenihan-Ikin is a Researcher and DPhil Student of Clinical Medicine at the Nuffield Department of Medicine at the University of Oxford. Her thesis focuses on the health impacts of climate change on workers in Aotearoa New Zealand, through a just transition lens. Her research uses qualitative research methods to understand the structural tools that we have available to prevent and mitigate potential health risks induced by climate change.
Shirin Ermis is a doctoral researcher working in collaboration with the UK Met Office. She focuses on extreme event attribution using medium-range weather forecasts to assess changes in extreme weather events. For now, she is assessing mid-latitude storms, using the storyline approach of event attribution. My supervisory team is Dr Antje Weisheimer, Dr Sarah Sparrow, Dr Fraser Lott, and Dr Nick Leach. Shirin obtained a BSc in Physics from Heidelberg (Germany) and a MSc in Physics with Extended Research from Imperial College London.
