He obtained his PhD in 2016 from the California Institute of Technology and had research appointments at ETH Zurich, University of Washington, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research before his appointment as assistant professor at ETH in 2023. Robb and his group use a combination of climate modeling, physics-based theoretical understanding, and data science methods to pursue research on a broad range of topics in climate science.

Matthew England is Scientia Professor of Ocean & Climate Dynamics at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, and the Deputy Director of the Australian Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science.  England previously held appointments at CSIRO Australia, the CNRS in France, and a Fulbright Scholarship at Princeton University.  His research focuses on large-scale ocean circulation and the influence of the oceans on regional and global climate, from the tropics to the North Atlantic and Antarctica, spanning time-scales of seasons to millennia.
