Senior Research Fellow for NCAS based at the Departmenmt of Earth and Environmental Science (DEES). My roll is split between the scientific air quality directorate and the Atmospheric Measurement & Observation Faciliy (AMOF) Facilities and Services division of NCAS. I have interests in the chemical and physical properties of aerosol from sea level up to ~33,000ft, using a range of aerosol instrumentation. I have an active area of research in quantifying and understanding the emissions from aircraft engines. The work involves contributing to standards for regulatory monitoring of large gas turbine engines as part of the certification process.

I am also passionate about teaching aerosol science to future scientists and run the NCAS and TSI Inc. sponsored Practical Aerosol Science course.
