Early Career Researcher (ECR) of the Month (October 2024) – Toby Jones

By Lou Brett, University of Strathclyde

? We want to hear from you and your exciting research! Always wanted to make your research more visible? If you’re interested in joining the CompoundNET early career network, or even featuring as an EC of the month, this is your chance to ?️ fill out this form.

Our Early Career Researcher (ECR) of the Month for October 2024 is Toby Jones! 

Toby is currently in the fourth year of his PhD at the University of Exeter, UK. Toby’s research explores correlation between aggregated wind and rain from extratropical cyclones

Toby’s Ph.D. has focused on developing frameworks to understand correlation between aggregated severities from multivariate compound events. This has been through the lens of extratropical cyclones in Europe, concluding the drivers of correlation are dependent on the choice of extreme threshold. Toby is keen to apply his work to other multivariate hazards or adapt his frameworks to other compound event types.
