Biography

Alison Donna Ming is a NERC Independent Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge, specifically within the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP). Her research primarily investigates large scale processes in the stratosphere, concentrating on the radiative and dynamical interactions occurring in the atmosphere. In addition, she explores the chemical processes that influence stratospheric ozone and examines the seasonal and decadal aspects of circulation. Ming is also actively interested in supervising Master's and PhD projects, and she is involved in sourcing funding for new PhD opportunities through Cambridge's CREATES DLA. Her work is integral to understanding the complexities of atmosphere-ocean dynamics and their implications for climate and environmental processes.
