I am an interdisciplinary researcher and practitioner working at the interface of science and public policy. My research focuses on environmental policy for sustainability, particularly in urban areas. My PhD research explored the potential for engineering soils to act as carbon sinks, promoting carbon capture and storage from the air through soil management. I have worked in policy settings including the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology.
