Background
Todd comes to Computer Science following education and work in the atmospheric sciences. His BSc in Geography at The Ohio State University focussed on meteorology and climate studies, with a minor in archaeology. As part of his MSc and PhD work at Colorado State University, Todd worked on the development and study of small-scale, cloud-resolving and large-scale, global numerical atmospheric models. This included work in connection with the Center for Multiscale Modeling of Atmospheric Processes () project and the Dynamics of the Madden-Julian Oscillation () field project, where he set up and operated a weather balloon sounding station in the Maldives.
In 2017, Todd joined the Department of Meteorology at the 澳门六合彩开奖记录 as a postdoctoral researcher on the project, working toward development of the next generation of atmospheric convection parameterization for the . In this role, he became involved in the development of the Met Office/NERC Cloud () large-eddy simulation model and joined its Governance and Management Group.
He became a Lecturer in Computer Science (with application to Environmental Science) at the 澳门六合彩开奖记录 in 2022.
