UFAM Instrument Scientist | |
 |
I am the ground-based FAGE UFAM instrument scientist, and am responsible for the development and operation of the ground-based FAGE instrument, making measurements of the OH, HO2 and IO radicals. Since joining the group in 2005, I have been involved in two field projects; RHaMBLe - Roscoff 2006, where we made the first measurements of the IO radical using LIF, and RHaMBLe - Cape Verde 2007, where we made measurements of OH and HO2 in the tropical marine boundary layer. Preparation is now underway for the forthcoming OP3 field project, which is taking place in spring 2008 at the Danum field centre in the heart of Borneo Rainforest. |
Previous ResearchI obtained my PhD in 2004 from the Univeristy of Leeds under the supervision of Prof. Ally Lewis. My research involved the development and deployment of two highly time-resolved gas chromatographs, designed to make airborne measurements of the NMHCs and PAN.
Following on from that I worked on the Master Chemical Mechanism, MCM, for one year, under the supervision of Prof. Mike Pilling, focussing on the evolution of North American plumes over the North Atlantic Ocean and Europe.

The instruments were deployed on the DLR Falcon
aircraft (VTROC Project) and the FAAM BA146 research aircraft (ITOP) as well as at a number of ground-based sites;
Jungfraujoch (FREETEX campaign) and in the UK (TORCH campaign).
