Current Work

I am a postdoc in Prof Alex Archibald's group in the Centre for Atmospheric Science. I am working also with National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) researchers Dr Luke Abraham and Maria Russo, and PhD student Zainab Hakim on the NERC-funded REVEAL-NOx project, which aims to better quantify the climate effects of aviation NOx emissions.

We are now at the stage where we have made many global atmosphere model runs to estimate the climate forcing due to aviation NOx, including over the interesting Covid "anthropause". We have started comparing both our results and those of partner universities against observational datasets to qualify the individual models, and will feed that into weights for multi-model ensemble climate effect predictions.

Previous Career

I worked for many years in automotive electronics as a software engineer, in diverse projects covering electric powertrain, combustion engine and pollution controls, autonomous vehicles, and also software tools. As technical leader I present the final video of the UKRI-funded MuCCA autonomous vehicle consortium project here. 

I have also been involved in machine learning competitions on public platforms, and other coding projects including an early educational molecular dynamics project. I have a GitHub area here.

PhD

I did my PhD here in Cambridge under Prof Sir David King, concerning the measurement and modelling of heats of adsorption and reaction on single-crystal metal surfaces. My thesis is available here. Nearly thirty years on, I was able to retrieve a couple of souvenir bits of metalwork from the floor of my old ground-floor lab just before it was refurbished...
