Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Mmet is an atmospheric observational scientist and research associate with nine years’ experience combining fieldwork, radar data science, and entrepreneurial meteorology. Currently researching convective inhibition evolution and erosion at the University of Manchester, he brings hands-on expertise from WesCon–WOEST observational campaigns and a PhD in Atmospheric Physics. He co-founded Menapia Ltd and previously supported national research and operational needs at NCAS and the Met Office, developing Python tools for radar data conversion and flood nowcasting applications. Ben’s skillset spans instrument operation (including SMART-R radar deployment), data engineering, and translating complex observational datasets into actionable science. Based in Leeds, he pairs academic rigor with a builder’s mentality—often tackling practical engineering tasks beyond a typical researcher’s remit.
