Michelle graduated in 2018 with an MPhys at the University of Hertfordshire. Her dissertation examined lidar results from South Korea, where mixed dust and pollution travels from China. Whilst at Hertfordshire, she worked on summer projects, including one with Dr Ben Burningham on his atmospheric retrieval framework, Brewster, which is what inspired her PhD at Exeter. Since graduation she has worked at the Institute of Physics. In 2019 she began her PhD with Eric, investigating the radiative and photochemical processes in the atmospheres of exoplanets through the lense of forward modelling and retrieval tools.
