Summary
Claire joined Imperial College London in December 2019 as a Programme Manager. She is currently managing an EPSRC AI for Health project 'AI-Respire: AI for Personalised respiratory health and pollution' which will develop a pollution and health impact predictive tool (AI-Respire Simulator). It will integrate the impact of pollution from cellular and respiratory scales, with respiratory health outcomes, ultimately to determine the individual responsiveness of the respiratory system to personal pollution exposure. It is led by the National Heart and Lung Institute and Earth Sciences and Engineering with the Department of Materials, School of Public Health and the Data Science Institute, all based at Imperial.
Previously, Claire has managed various projects for Imperial College London including the Net Zero project Real-time digital optimisation and decision making for energy and transport systems which will deliver fundamental scientific machine learning methods and practical digital twins to optimise intractable engineering problems for net zero. She also managed the 4-year, multidisciplinary, EPSRC-funded project INHALE: Health Assessment across biological length scales for personal pollution exposure and its mitigation which assessed the impact of air pollution on personal health in urban environments. Claire managed ''COVAIR': Is SARS-CoV-2 airborne and does it interact with particle pollutants?'.
Previous to this role, Claire worked at the Overseas Development Institute for over 11 years, most recently as a Programme Operations and Business Manager with the Politics and Governance Programme. She was a Grants Administrative Officer with the Leverhulme Trust previous to this.
Claire studied at the University of East Anglia. She has a BSc in Environmental Sciences and an MA in Development Studies.
