Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRuth Petrie is a Principal Risk Scientist with 10 years of experience translating advanced atmospheric and climate science into practical catastrophe risk insights for the insurance sector. With a PhD and MSc in Meteorology and Climate Science, she interrogates catastrophe models—particularly their treatment of climate change—and leads development of semi-probabilistic models and climate adjustments for client risk views. Her background as a senior data scientist managing petabyte-scale CMIP6 datasets and chairing an international working group for IPCC AR6 gives her rare expertise at the intersection of climate modelling, data engineering, and operational risk. She has a track record of upskilling teams in good development practices and leveraging standard tools like git to professionalize model development. Based in Stony Stratford, Ruth combines rigorous academic research with hands-on model development for developing-country parametric programmes and regulatory-facing climate work. An early career in adult education and dual degrees in mathematics and computing hint at her strong communication skills and multidisciplinary curiosity.
