Nhu Nguyen

PhD Ccandidate in Management, McGill University
I’m a PhD candidate in Management at McGill University. My research addresses gender inequality in two crucial areas: entrepreneurship and film-making. In entrepreneurship, I focus on uncovering the subtle biases that often go unnoticed in startup evaluations. Meanwhile, my work in film-making centers on identifying the key network structures that foster women's career longevity as movie directors. My research has been published in the prestigious 'Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice' journal and honoured with the Kauffman Foundation's Best Student Paper Award. Through my work, I hope to contribute to global efforts aimed at combating gender inequality and fostering an equitable and inclusive work environment for people of all genders.

Nicholas Leach

Postdoctoral Researcher, Climate Science, University of Oxford
I am a postdoctoral researcher at Oxford University, having recently completed my PhD as part of the Environmental Research Doctoral Training Partnership there. I reside in the Predictability of Weather and Climate research group, supervised by Antje Weisheimer and Myles Allen. My research explores the use of operational weather forecasting models within the field of extreme event attribution, with a particular focus on heat events and storms. This work touches on themes of numerical weather prediction, attribution of climate change, meteorological drivers of extreme weather and extreme value statistics.

I started out in climate change research during a summer research project (that I would later develop into my masters thesis) investigating a simple method for estimating the remaining global carbon budget. While this particular field is no longer my focus, I still remain involved, especially in the use and development of reduced complexity climate models.

I am also a climate scientist at Climate X, specialising in the quantifying the impact of climate change on storm systems globally. My role involves both assessing how to apply state-of-the art academic research to provide the detailed information on climate risk required by the financial industry, and coming up with novel ways that can improve upon more traditional ways of quantifying extreme weather risk from storm systems. I combine a variety of statistical methods and models with observational data and state-of-the-art physical climate and weather model simulations in my work, and am always interested in new approaches in this space, so if you’re an academic researching physical extreme weather risk and interested in working with industry, please get in touch!
