Kate Rowley
University of Birmingham
Kate Rowley is a final-year PhD student at the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom, funded by the NERC CENTA Doctoral Training Partnership. Her research focuses on developing novel methods for the analysis and quantification of tyre particles from environmental samples, as well as understanding their transport via atmospheric deposition in the urban environment. Kate has been BRIDGE-funded to support collaborative work with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA, where she conducted her laboratory and pyrolysis GC-MS research at the Illinois Sustainable Technology Centre. Her presentation at the Tyre Emissions Research Conference will focus on the three main research papers from her PhD.
