Dr Pete Edwards is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of York, affiliated with the Wolfson Atmospheric Chemistry Labs and UK National Centre for Atmospheric Science. His research focuses on atmospheric chemistry processes impacting air pollution and climate change, particularly radical-driven reactions in the troposphere. He develops novel instruments like laser-induced fluorescence and low-cost sensors for field observations, combined with computational modeling. Projects include ERC-funded studies on atomic chlorine chemistry and UKRI QUANT initiatives for urban air quality monitoring in collaboration with Defra and West African nations. Awards include the 2014 Colorado Governor’s Award and 2016 NOAA Outstanding Paper Award.
