Dr Aoibheann Brady is a statistician whose work looks at the intersection of climate, the environment and statistics. Her research has focussed on the application of Bayesian spatio-temporal models and causal inference techniques to accurately detect and attribute changes in environmental processes (such as flooding, sea level rise, etc.) to changes in climate. She has also worked extensively on applying statistical methods to problems spanning water resources, air pollution, health and sports science.

Before joining BeZero, Aoibheann managed a team of data scientists at Cervest, where she led the development of statistical models for rare event prediction for a variety of climate hazards under multiple scenarios. Prior to this, she conducted research on the European Research Council funded GlobalMass project at the University of Bristol and has consulted on projects for ESPN. Aoibheann sits on the advisory board for the EPSRC-funded SAMBa Centre for Doctoral Training at the University of Bath.
