Biography:

Jonny Williams studied physics at Imperial College London and has a PhD in computational physics from the University of Bath. Before moving to NIWA in 2015, Jonny worked as a scientist for the UK Met Office, an environmental consultant working with public and private organisations and stakeholders, and as a paleoclimate researcher at Bristol University. His research underpins and supports the earth system modelling capability of New Zealand researchers and the wider Deep South National Science Challenge. Jonny is a qualified Software Carpentry instructor and has a particular interest in science communication and visualisation.
