Introduction

Atmospheric processing affects the current and future composition of our air, with impacts upon human and environmental health, air quality and climate.  My research group addresses areas of atmospheric chemistry and clean air science and policy, including

​

- Understanding the sources and transformations of air pollutants in the urban atmosphere, ranging from trends in the UK to developing megacities such as Delhi

​

- Quantifying the sources and sinks for atmospheric oxidants: impacts from processes such as new reactive nitrogen emissions and particulate-mediated renoxification

​

- Applying air pollution science to improve local and regional air quality policy measures

​

Our work combines atmospheric field measurements, simulation chamber and laboratory studies and numerical modelling approaches.  Fundamental understanding of the atmospheric chemical system is placed in an applied context: working with partners to apply clean air science for improved human and environmental health.

Opportunities: I'm happy to discuss ideas for PhD research projects and applications for funded fellowship schemes, but please be aware we do not have funding other than for openly advertised positions.  Please send me an email (ideally with your CV and an outline of your interests and ideas).  Our funded job opportunities within research projects / the group, and any funding for PhD study, will always be advertised externally through sites like jobs.ac.uk,  on the University jobs pages, and via the NERC CENTA Doctoral Training Partnership for PhD funding.
