As predominantly independent researchers, my focus when working with postdocs is in career development in addition to providing feedback on scientific writing, presentations, and research project(s). Whether your desired next career step is as a researcher, a lecturer, both, or neither (i.e., a career outside of academia) I am commited to passing along opportunities and supporting you in developing your job packet. Although I currently do not have any funding set aside for postdoctoral appointments; I am interested in collaborating with postdoc candidates to develop fellowship proposals. If you would like to work with me, please reach out and we can discuss further!
I am excited to mentor PhD students who are interested in understanding how humans are impacting the climate and air quality, and how we can use this knowledge to improve human and planetary health to progress towards a more sustainable and equitable future. During your research with me, you can anticipate learning how to simulate the atmosphere using high performance computing systems, explore how satellite observations of the atmosphere have relevance for air pollution, and quantify the health, equity, and economic costs associated with air pollution and climate change. As PhD students are both learning and conducting research, my priority is to mentor you in developing your scientific writing, presenting, and research skills and also help you tailor your PhD towards your desired career path. If you are interested in conducting full-time research at Cardiff University and working with me, please send me an email! Further details about postgraduate research in the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences can be found here.
If you are interested in getting involved in research during your studies and to explore how climate change, air pollution, health, policy, and equity interact please email me! As this may be your first exposure to research, I aim to provide guidance on the basics of scientific research and writing. Specificially, I intend to support you in familiarizing yourself with high performance computing, working on data analysis and visualization, and developing your written and presentation scientific communication skills. Depending on your interests, you could learn about climate and atmospheric science, earth system modeling, remote sensing, data science, machine learning, or health and environmental justice research. I look forward to working with you!
Fundamentally, I believe that scientific research benefits from being inclusive of diverse perspectives. Progress towards a more sustainable and equitable future can only be made through continued awareness of inequality and inequity. I want you to know that you are welcome in CASA and the larger scientific community. I am committed to creating an inclusive and respectful environment for all who would like to join.
