Biography

I am a Lecturer in Indoor Air at the University of Leeds where I deliver research and teaching on the social and physical dimensions of IAQ. My research interests lie in diverse aspects of indoor air quality (IAQ), usually involving a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. These can be broadly categorised into two themes: IAQ and environmental justice, and IAQ and energy.

Alongside this role I run NAQTS, a Lancaster Environment Centre collocated business that develops tools and technologies to provide holistic IAQ information. In this role I have collaborated on and led multiple industry-academic research projects and partnerships, with universities, other businesses, trade associations, public health professionals, and the general public. I am also a UKRI Regional Clean Air Champion as part of the SPF Clean Air Programme, a £42.5m investment supporting research and innovation. In this role I help to bring together research across engineering, atmospheric, medical, and social science to develop practical and fair solutions for air quality challenges. As part of my Regional Clean Air Champion position I hold Visiting Academic status at the University of Southampton in the Faculty of Medicine.
