My research involves applied mathematical modelling of environmental interventions and their impacts on human health, with a particular focus on climate change mitigation actions in urban areas.
Before joining LSHTM, I worked at the Bartlett, University College London. I also have a PhD in air pollution exposure modelling from Imperial College London.
