Since receiving my PhD in Atmospheric Chemistry from the University of East Anglia, I continued with my research into the role of halogen chemistry in the marine boundary layer for a number of years before joining the power industry as an atmospheric modeller. I then moved back into education and started my teaching career in 2003. Since then I have had the opportunity to teach A-Level Chemistry in an FE environment, as well as teaching Chemistry to undergraduate environmental scientists and lecturing on MSc programmes in Air Pollution, Prevention and Control, Carbon Management, and Integrated Environmental Strategies.
