Professional biography
I am currently a PDRA working on the NERC funded Brazil-UK Network for Investigation of Amazonian Atmospheric Composition and Impacts on Climate (BUNIAACIC). This aims to establish a collaborative network between Brazilian and UK atmospheric researchers, and from this build a framework for future collaborative research in the Amazon.
Specific research interests
Aerosols, Surface-Atmosphere Exchange, CCN, Hygroscopicity
