Research Interests

My post as an air pollution modeller involves running an atmospheric chemistry transport model, EMEP4UK, and a weather research and forecast model, WRF. EMEP4UK simulates hourly to annual average atmospheric composition and deposition of various pollutants across the UK and Europe with a horizontal resolution ranging from 50km to 1km by 1km.
