Emily is Director of Cambridge Zero, the University of Cambridge’s major climate change initiative, and Professor of Environmental Data Science at the Department of Computer Science and Technology. Her primary research is focused on the application of AI to climate science, as well as considering the nexus between climate change, biodiversity loss and societal challenges. She previously worked for more than a decade at the British Antarctic Survey.
Emily is a Fellow of the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, a Fellow of the British Antarctic Survey, a Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society, and an Honorary Fellow of the Energy Institute.

Emily said:
“I am deeply honoured to accept this recognition, which is a reflection of the collective efforts of many scientists, communicators, educators, and advocates who strive every day to make climate science accurate, accessible and actionable at a time when honesty, clarity and urgency are more important than ever.”
