David Brayshaw is a Professor of Climate Science and Energy-Meteorology, and joint Head of the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading.

Brayshaw’s interests span both fundamental and applied climate science, with a particular focus on the application of climate information in the energy sector. He has led contributions to several large multi-national research projects, including two prototype “climate services for energy” (ECEM, S2S4E) and the pan-European advanced climate modelling research programme (PRIMAVERA), and much of his work features close collaboration with industry stakeholders. Brayshaw founded and chairs the interdisciplinary “Next Generation Challenges in Energy-Climate Modelling” workshop series, is a Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society and is also founding co-chair of the RMetS “Energy” special interest group.
