M.Phys. (incl. B.Sc.), Physics with Space Science & Technology First Class with Honours Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, University of Leicester, Leicester, UK (2004) Experience ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA, USA (Oct 2014 – Present) Research Scientist Developing a global dust aerosol metric from satellite retrievals, quantifying statistical uncertainty for the aerosol direct radiative effect, assessing the role of organic aerosol in air quality and premature mortality in the US. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA, USA (Oct 2012 - Oct 2014) Post-Doctoral Research Associate Leading several projects including aerosol trend attribution, developing sub-grid parameterizations for chemical transport models (CTM) and integrating a radiative transfer code into a CTM, involving regular use of remote sensing products. Self-employed, Leeds, UK (Sept 2011 – Oct 2012) Research Consultant Research under contract for Massachusetts Institute of Technology while working for an independent record label and co-authoring a book on music production and the music industry. Atmospheric Science Department, Colorado State University, CO, USA (Sept 2009 – Sept 2011) Post-Doctoral Research Associate Improved and evaluated a global chemical transport model simulations of dust storms and their impacts on the biosphere. Evaluated model dust deposition through satellite observations. Institute of Climate and Atmospheric Science, University of Leeds, UK (July 2008 – Sept 2009) Post-Doctoral Research Associate Employed a Monte-Carlo methodology to determine the uncertainty in modelled ozone pollution resulting from reaction rate kinetics. Created a compact chemistry model GUI for students to explore important chemical mechanisms in the atmosphere relating to air quality.
