Biographical details

I joined the Environmental Research Group at King's College London in 2006 from the University of Edinburgh, where I worked as a research assistant specialising in micrometeorology and greenhouse gas monitoring.

I now work full-time within the monitoring team on the day to day running of research-grade aerosol instrumentation for Defra’s UK particles network.

Having made the cross-over from climate change research to that of air quality my current research interests now encompass both realms and the interactions between the two.

My part-time PhD studentship focuses on the distribution of emissions and dynamics of urban and transport sources of CO2 and their relationship with local air pollution.
