Fellowship focus: Defining the evolving role of international institutions and the EU-UK relationship in defence.
Mr Majcin will bring his wealth of experience in European security and defence as an eminent think tank member, building on an existing collaboration between Surrey’s Centre for Britain and Europe (CBE) and the European Policy Centre in Brussels. During three visits, he will collaborate with the CBE on research, events and publishable outputs on EU-UK issues. He will also collaborate with staff in the Department of Politics on European security, co-host a series of workshops with the Centre, and deliver guest lectures and mentorship to undergraduate and postgraduate students.
Fellowship focus: Addressing the acute air quality problem in Indian megacities such as Delhi by identifying modelling tools which understand ‘air shed’ from outside city boundaries.
In Delhi – the most polluted city in the world – there is an urgent need to address the acute air quality problem with an ‘air shed’ approach which takes into account air pollutants from outside the city boundaries. Dr Khan, a Senior Environmental Engineer within Delhi’s government, will collaborate with Professor Kumar to identify the best modelling tools to help understand atmospheric transport of pollution and its dispersion, and to develop air shed delineation protocols, creating a model for other Indian megacities.
