Research Scientist
CurrentJoined as a Research Scientist as part of a 2-year net-zero graduate scheme where I spent the first year working in the Temperature and Humidity group. Here, I got involved in setting up a weather station to investigate radiatively immune thermometry using a novel, NPL-designed ultrasonic acoustic thermometer. I was also responsible for computing water vapor enhancement factors for various binary gas mixtures at distinct temperature and pressure conditions. This project was for the Metrology Support for Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (MetCCUS) as part of the European Green Deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and become carbon neutral by 2050. I then worked in the Optical Radiation Metrology group for 6 months where I was tasked with calculating the temperature coefficients of InGaAs photodiodes as part of the Consultative Committee of Photometry and Radiometry Key Comparison for spectral responsivity within the wavelength range of 900 nm to 1600 nm (CCPR K2.a).In my final 6 months of the scheme I worked in the Environmental Emissions Metrology group using Python to aid with data processing of meteorological and methane concentration data acquired using the Fugitive Emissions Distributed Sampling (FEDS) system created at NPL. Utilized the WindTrax software software to simulate realistic turbulent transport of methane particles using Lagrangian stochastic particle models to determine unknown emission rates as part of a validation campaign for the FEDS.
