I am a Research Fellow in the Department of Social & Environmental Health Research working on the projects PURGE and PUrE Intrawise which are looking at how climate change mitigation strategies will impact on human health .
I have a BSc in Physics (with Space Science) from University College London, an MSc in Environmental Science from the University of Nottingham and a PhD from Imperial College London.

Research
My research interests primarily involve the interactions between the built environment and health. This includes the effects on health of urban air pollutants, indoor air quality, housing, energy and climate change.
I work on the PURGE project which is examining the health implications of greenhouse gas mitigation strategies in various sectors (power generation, housing, transport, food and agriculture). LSHTM is developing new techniques to assess the health impacts of changes in environmental exposures due to mitigation strategies and policies.
I also work on PUrE Intrawise. The project has developed an integrated decision-support framework for more sustainable management of indoor pollution associated with the provision, conservation and use of energy in buildings. Within the project, LSHTM has developing tools with which to assess the health impacts of future changes in levels of indoor air pollutants and other environmental exposures.
Before joing LSHTM, I worked at University College London on the LUCID project which is developing tools to study London's urban heat island and looking at ways in which cities can adapt to climate change. My PhD considered models of indoor air pollution from outdoor sources in urban areas (title: "Exposure to traffic-related air pollutants in buildings along busy streets").
