This year I began a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, where I am currently applying my research to simulate urban air pollution in the lab. The aim of this project is to apply novel laboratory techniques to simulate wind patterns and air pollution in urban areas. These experiments will provide cutting-edge measurements that will improve our capability to model and predict urban air quality.
I love doing experiments in the lab, designing and building new apparatus, that will let us visualise and measure different kinds of flows. It is then really satisfying to analyse those measurements and gain new insight into how turbulence works that no one else has ever seen before. But one of the most rewarding things about being an engineer is teaching the next generation of students and seeing them learn and grow to become the engineers that will tackle the problems of the future.
