Profile
I have masters degrees in physics and transport planning and the environment. I completed my PhD at ITS in 2016, investigating and modelling real driving emissions at fleet levels. After completing my PhD I worked in industry, consulting on various topics related to urban air pollution and vehicle emissions. I returned to ITS to work on air pollution and vehicle emissions projects and lecture on those topics.

Research interests
I have been working on various problems relating to transport based air pollution in urban environments. I am particularly interested in the application of new data management and visualisation methods to improve the reach and accessibility of often quite complex data sets. Some examples can be found below:
