Postdoctoral researchers in the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences 

David is staff member of the National Center of Atmospheric Sciences (NCAS) working at Birmingham University. His interests are in the research and development of scientific instrumentation, novel multivariate data analysis algorithms and atmospheric modelling tools used for the interpretation of data collected from atmospheric aerosols.

Dr Chakraborty is an interdisciplinary researcher with expertise in nanomaterial synthesis and characterization, nanomaterial biochemical transformation and their impact on toxicity. He is currently working on two EU-funded projects, i.e., H2020- SABYDOMA and Horizon Europe- MOZART to explore the field of nanosafety research.  He is very interested in developing a mechanistic ...

Dr Liam Kelleher is a research fellow at the Institute for Global Innovation (IGI) working on the Water Challenges research theme. Liam’s interests are in the area of spectroscopy (Raman and others), data analysis and the study of nano and microplastics.

Please get in touch if you want to chat further.

Dr Owen King is a human geographer with particular interests in environmental governance and political ecology with an emphasis on extractive industries and water resources. He is a post-doctoral research fellow with the ESRC Future Research Leaders project ‘Geo-logics and geo-politics: the collective governance of European shale gas development.’

Dr James Levine’s focus is on air quality, spanning the conventional boundary between natural and built environments. His background is predominantly in atmospheric science, developing numerical models of atmospheric chemistry and transport for innovative applications. However, drawing on experience of architectural practice (qualified to RIBA Part I), James increasingly couples ...

Dr Joseph Mallalieu is a glaciologist, specialising in contemporary glacier and ice-sheet dynamics, and how these are influenced by a range of phenomena, including climate change, ice-marginal lakes and volcanism. Joe uses remote sensing, GIS and field techniques to monitor glaciers at a range of spatial and temporal scales, with a particular emphasis on Arctic glaciation. Methodologically, he is ...

Dr Kelvin Ng is an atmospheric scientist who focuses on meteorological and climatological extremes.

Dr Katie Reilly is an environmental scientist with a focus on ecotoxicology and anthropogenic stressors in aquatic environments. Katie also has a keen interest in science communication and public engagement centered in environmental issues, often with a focus on microplastic pollution effects, and has experience working with a range of audiences.

Dr Ajit Singh is an environmental scientist with particular interest in air pollution measurements and management. His research and associated activities are focused on improving air quality and related knowledge in both developed and developing countries through interdisciplinary and life-cycle approaches by better understanding the climate, health and socio-economic consequences of poor air ...

<p>My research is focused on halogens and radical chemistry in the troposphere, combining measurements and modelling. My main research project is about the processes that form and destroy ozone, and other pollutants, in the lower atmosphere.</p> <p>Personal website:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.robsom.org">www.robsom.org</a></p>

Dr William A Stubbings is a post-doctoral researcher with a high level of experience in environmental and analytical chemistry, specifically related to the determination of concentrations of organic contaminants, such as flame retardants, plasticisers, and their metabolites.

Dr Zhang is considered a leading researcher with a broad vision and innovative ideas in developing solutions for sustainable nanotechnology and nano-enabled agriculture. He pioneered the use of synchrotron-radiation based techniques to study the transformation of nanomaterials in plants. He specifically established an isotope labeling approach for tracing the fate of nanoscale CeO2 in plants and ...
