Mr Jayaka Campbell
University of the West Indies
JD Campbell is an Assistant Lecturer in the Department of Physics at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus. He is a computational physicist with a focus on atmospheric sciences, more specifically, the generation of regional climate modelling scenarios at scales relevant to the small size and complex terrain of the nations of the Caribbean and its neighbours. His research includes examining the impact of climate, climate change and climate variability on the key economic drivers and social sectors (agriculture, water, health, etc.) of the Caribbean. Like so many before him, JD Campbell credits his success to the support of his family, friends and the seemingly never-ending guidance of his mentors.
