Biography
I have a joint position between the University of York Department of Chemistry where I am a Professor of Urban Air Pollution and WSP where I am a Technical Director.
My research interests are focused on the development of new data analysis techniques to better-understand air pollution and vehicle remote emission sensing approaches. I have published widely on both topics.
I lead the openair project, a family of open-source R packages for air quality data analysis used extensively throughout the world by academia, government, and the private sector. The original software paper has been cited well over 2,000 times and the core package downloaded more than 650,000 times from CRAN. Comprehensive documentation is freely available in the openair book.
