Work and interests

Harry was a Research Assistant based in the Public Health Modelling Group: he was supervised by Dr Haneen Khreis. He worked on UBDPolicy (Urban Burden of Disease Estimation for Policy Making), an EU-funded project which aims to improve the estimation of health and well-being impacts and socioeconomic costs and/or benefits of major urban environmental stressors. Through UBDPolicy his work focused broadly on exposure-response functions of various urban health determinants (air pollution, noise, greenspace and physical activity). Outside of this, Harry’s research interests and expertise included air pollution modelling and exposure assessment.
