Bethan White

Bethan White is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne's 21st Century Weather Centre, leading the Centre's atmospheric modelling division. Her prior academic appointments include positions at Monash University, the University of Oxford (UK), and the University of Leeds (UK), alongside professional experience at the Bureau of Meteorology.

Her research specializes in atmospheric deep convection dynamics and cloud physics, with particular expertise in high-resolution convective-scale modelling and microphysical processes. Key interests include developing advanced physics parameterisations, improving convection representation in numerical models, and conducting process-based analysis of precipitation generation from convective systems.

Bethan actively coordinates international model intercomparison projects and serves on the scientific steering committee of the Aerosol, Clouds, Precipitation and Climate Initiative (ACPC), demonstrating significant global research leadership.
