Project outline

I am working on an industry-funded research project aiming to perform high standard data analysis, in order to gain a better understanding of air pollution in the area the industry occupies, and provide guidance on policy making, based on robust scientific evidence. This required extensive data management and analysis of complex air quality datasets, combining them with meteorological data, and employing statistical methodologies, using tools such as R and RStudio.

The main focus of my project is to develop novel methods for particulate matter (PM) source identification and attribution in multiple source locations, such as industrialised areas.
