Congratulations to SENSE CDT PGR Ashar Aslam who recently successfully defended his PhD thesis: “Severe weather over Southeast Asia”
Ashar joined SENSE in 2021 and completed his PhD at the University of Leeds.
Ashar is remaining at Leeds as a postdoc, where he is working on the UPSCALE project with John Marsham as his PI, in collaboration with the Met Office. He will be assessing the benefits of running global climate simulations at the kilometre-scale, with a focus on the representation of convection and its resultant upscale influence on larger-scale circulation and environmental characteristics. Ashar is now also a co-organiser of PGR Pride, an initiative run at Leeds to provide support, professional guidance, and, ultimately, community for LGBTQ+ identifying postgraduates across the university.
SENSE would like to take this opportunity to thank our funder the Natural Environment Research Council
From all of us at SENSE – congratulations Ashar! Wishing you all the very best in your future career – we look forward to hearing about your future endeavours.
