Personal statement:
I am an interdisciplinary researcher, combining a background in environmental science with more recent research experience in geography, social science and arts & humanities. I lead and contribute to inter- and trans-disciplinary projects which place people at their heart, using a variety of methods and approaches to engage people in the research process including co-creation, citizen science, participatory and creative methods.
I am UKRI Regional Clean Air Champion for Scotland and sit on the Public Engagement working group for the Scottish Government’s Cleaner Air for Scotland 2 air quality policy.
