Biography
I am a PhD student working in the Wolfson Atmospheric Chemistry Laboratories (WACL) at the University of York. My current research is focusing on NOx (NO + NO2) in remote environments. I previously completed an integrated masters at the university of york, during my masters project i focused on Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from jet fuel and compared the emissions of conventional Jet fuel to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). I am very excited to be working at the forefront of environmental research and contributing to science that will hopefully better inform policy in the future.I love spending time outdoors and i can often be found in the lakes district or wales either hiking, camping or paddleboarding.

Project outline
Atmospheric Nitrogen Oxides play a key role in tropospheric chemistry. They directly help control the two most important atmospheric oxidants, ozone (O3) and the hydroxyl radical (OH). Therefore understanding NOx chemistry is pivotal to our understanding of the climate system as a whole, my research focuses on the reactions that NOx is involved with in remote areas of the world with limited anthropogenic input.
