Biography

I'm a PhD student in the Wolfson Atmospheric Chemistry Laboratory at the University of York. Prior to my PhD, I also completed my undergraduate degree in Chemistry, the Atmosphere and the Environment and my MSc by research in Chemistry at the University of York. My masters project involved mapping the distribution of potential source locations of pollutants and modelling the dispersion of pollutants from these sources in York. I also used mobile measurement data to validate the modelling and analysed the data with a new method for determining background concentrations.
