Key Research Interests

  • Impact of aviation gas phase emissions on local air quality and understanding on how the transition to sustainable aviation fuels could have an impact.
  • Measurement of methane and Non-methane hydrocarbons from off shore oil and gas platforms, especially the impact of loading and unloading emissions
  • Local air quality
