Biography

I am a first year PhD student based in Wolfson Atmospheric Chemistry Laboratories (WACL), University of York. My PhD focuses on source-specific quantification of ammonia emissions, with the aim to gather more accurate data for regulation, mitigation and policy making. Prior to my PhD, I completed my Undergraduate degree at Northumbria University in Biochemistry. My final year project looked at the uses of enzymes in the removal of heavy metal contaminants from urban water sources..
