Hi, I'm Jure.
I'm a PhD student working on climate models at the University of Cambridge.
In my free time time, I enjoy reading about fiscal policy.
About me
I studied physics and applied mathematics, then started dabbling in climate science. I'm now a PhD student at the University of Cambridge, working on the representation of convective clouds in climate models.
I work part-time as a trainer at Cambridge Spark, teaching data science, and as an independent contractor for Google DeepMind, helping real researchers evaluate conversational AI models for safety and performance.
In my spare time, I enjoy exploring the intricacies of fiscal policy. On less exciting days, you can find me outdoors, preferably surrounded by trees.

Education
MSci in Mathematics & Physics
Joint degree. Thesis on the percolation characteristics of systems with a barrier.
MPhil
MPhil by research. Thesis on the impact of convection schemes in climate models.
PhD
I use high-resolution simulations, data analysis, and large-scale computing to understand how the physics of clouds and the climate system behave and change over time.
Work
Trainer & tutor
Teaching and tutoring Excel, Python, data science, and, on occasion, machine learning, to company clients- catering to a spectrum of learner expertise, ranging from complete beginners to advanced learners.
Expert AI tutor
Part-time role in collaboration with researchers to test and evaluate conversational AI models for safety and performance.
