Joyce Kimutai is a Research Associate in the Analysis and Interpretation of Climate Data for Extreme Weather. Joyce completed her PhD under AXA Research Chair Programme in African Climate Risk as part of a multi-disciplinary team from the University of Cape Town and University of Oxford, working on research spanning climate, hydrological, agricultural, ecological and economic and adaptation science.

Joyce's current research work focuses on quantifying the role and contribution of anthropogenic climate change on extreme weather and climate events like extreme rainfall/floods, droughts and heatwaves. She also explores possible ways in which attribution science can support policy process like loss and damage, and climate litigation.
