معرفی
Dr Helen Davies is a Research Associate in the Department of Environment and Geography at the University of York. Her work focuses on computational modeling of indoor air chemistry, particularly examining how activities like cooking and cleaning influence air quality. She joined the department in 2021 after completing postdoctoral research in low-temperature plasmas (LTPs), where she specialized in simulating chemical kinetics in atmospheric pressure LTPs for biomedical applications. Her PhD explored the production and consumption of biorelevant reactive species in LTPs.
Educational Background:
- PhD in Biology
- Master's in Biology
Research Interests: Helen’s current research emphasizes indoor environmental chemistry, including surface interactions with airborne pollutants, modeling indoor air quality dynamics, and evaluating emissions from everyday activities. She has pioneered the development of the INCHEM-Py box model for indoor air chemistry and contributed to datasets on plasma chemistry and cleaning product impacts. Her work bridges computational modeling with experimental validation to address real-world environmental health challenges.
Collaborations & Datasets:
- Co-developed the INCHEM-Py v1.2 community model
- Contributed to datasets on plasma chemistry (DOI:10.15124/1a186859-ad12-4e33-bf17-ccfcbad48ba0)
- Co-authored datasets on cooking emissions and cleaning impacts
Grants & Funding: Her research is supported by collaborative projects with Prof. Nicola Carslaw and interdisciplinary teams at York. Funding sources include institutional grants for computational modeling infrastructure and experimental setups.
