Air quality scientist and programme manager
I provide scientific and technical supervision for the AirQo team, an Africa-based multi-disciplinary research group championing new approaches to air quality management in African cities. In this capacity, I also contribute to training the next generation of future scientists through direct co-supervision of undergraduate and post-graduate student-led research projects. I also support the co-designing and implementation of post-doctoral research projects
