R. Giles Harrison

• Professor of Atmospheric Physics, University of Reading

At the University of Reading I pursue research in atmospheric electricity and atmospheric measurements, which I also teach at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. My interest in atmospheric science began in childhood in Gloucestershire. I was fortunate to attend a good local state school which fostered this, and was the first in my family to go to University. The Department of Meteorology at Reading is an outstanding environment in which to learn and develop atmospheric science.
