Science Collaborators

Education
  • PhD Earth Observation Science (University of Leicester)
  • MPhys, Physics with Space Science and Technology (University of Leicester)
Research Interests
  • Satellite observations in conjunction with chemistry transport modeling and aircraft observations to investigate tropospheric composition.
  • Satellite observations and chemistry transport modeling to investigate factors controlling the composition of the troposphere.
  • Validation and use of TES tropospheric profile measurements of CO and ozone.
  • Use of upper tropospheric concentration profiles from MIPAS satellite instrument and the TOMCAT global chemical-transport model to help interpret global distributions of peroxyacetylnitrate (PAN) in the upper troposphere.
