Emily Prestwood joins AQMRC

We are delighted to announce that Emily Prestwood has joined the Air Quality Management Resource Centre as a Research Associate. Emily joins us from Loughborough University where she was a transport and infrastructure researcher on an EU FP7 project, CARONTE. She also completed a PhD in the Building Energy Research Group entitled ‘Energy use and related emissions of the UK residential sector: quantitative modelling and policy implications’, analysing historical changes in householders’ energy using behaviour in response to energy and climate change policies and initiatives.  Prior to her PhD, Emily worked on the EUCO2 80/50, a climate change mitigation project engaging stakeholders in regional scenario workshops to produce energy-emissions scenarios to inform local emission reduction policy.
