Madhavi Karumudi

Post-doctoral Researcher

Madhavi was co-ordinator for DIAC-UKAAN and also investigated aerosol characteristics and global atmospheric electrical activity at Reading using measurements of the atmospheric electric field and aerosol mass concentration.

Megan Northway

Post-doctoral Researcher

Megan worked on the ADIENT project which is quantifying aerosol optical properties around the UK and across EUROPE. She now lives in Japan with her family.
