Journal Editorial and Reviewing Responsibilities:

Associate Editor of Atmospheric Chemistry & Physics, 2013 – ongoing

Referee for the following peer reviewed journals: Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics /Journal of Geophysical Research (Atmospheres) / Atmospheric Environment / Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry.

Research focus:

As a brief summary….

My traditional research interests focus on building computational models of atmospheric processes for use in interpretation of field experiments and as sub models for incorporation in air quality and climate change models. The latter include modules supplied to the developers of the UK Chemistry Aerosol community model (UKCA), a joint NCAS-Met Office programme funded by NCAS, GMR and DEFRA.

I manage and coordinate the UManSysProp informatics and open-source model suite, developed under NERC funding for which I was PI (http://umansysprop.seaes.manchester.ac.uk/).

I work on development of classification schemes for chemical ionisation mass spectrometers and UVLIF instruments for bio-aerosol detection developed through partnerships with the Ministry of Defence laboratories.

Im currently working jointly on a project funded by the Alan Turing Institute to use experience sampling to improve our understanding on the impacts of air pollution.
