About Dr. Paul Smith

Atmospheric Scientist with over 15 years' experience managing research projects measuring the impacts of air pollution and greenhouse gas concentrations on our climate. I am passionate about technologies and solutions that contribute to mitigating emissions of greenhouse gases, drive adaptation to climate change, and provide equitable outcomes for society.Key Skills Include: Air Quality, Carbon Accounting, Carbon Sequestration, Client Support, Climate Science, Communications, Data Science, Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change, Project Management, Renewable Energy, Stakeholder Engagement, Training and Development. Key Research Achievements Include: 🎯️ Led team of four to execute €1.1M project to install Integrated Carbon Observation System research station in Northern Sweden, delivering on time and budget. Awarded Class 1 status for atmospheric and Class 2 status for ecosystem measurements by the ICOS Head Office. Promoted to Station Manager and Principal Investigator, won additional €1.54M of funding securing research objectives through to 2028, by attracting seven additional research projects to use the facilities. 🎯️ Designed, fabricated and installed research infrastructure for King's College meteorological and gas-phase sensors during ClearfLo, a £500k multi-stakeholder project focused on air quality during the London Olympics. Completed works in only two-months. The data produced insights on the urban-heat-island effect that informed Westminster council policy on protecting citizens under future climate scenarios, e.g. using green roofs, planting trees for shade and optimised irrigation for public parks. 🎯️ Co-authored influential papers, cited more than 330 times, on the application of low-cost air quality sensors for monitoring networks as part of EuNetAir, a €68M EU research program with 17 EU partners. Collaborated on experimental design and deployed University of Cambridge sensor nodes as part of an inter-comparison campaign in Portugal. Our research demonstrated the capacity of low-cost sensors for actionable data on air quality, and succeeded in driving private sector investment into startups for air quality services enhanced with AI. Examples of How I Can Help You:✅️ Technical and scientific advice for startups and VC's in the climate space. ✅️ Analysis and understanding of climate data. ✅️ Training in the use of En-ROAD's climate model.✅️ Proof-reading scientific manuscripts and technical documentation.✅️ Helping with grant applications for EU funding. Feel free to connect with me!
