Biography

Raphael Kubeba Tabase is a Bioscience Engineer and Scientific Specialist in Ammonia and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory at Rothamsted Research. His work focuses on quantifying, modelling, and improving understanding of agricultural ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions to support national inventory reporting and sustainable agricultural policy.

He has over eight years of experience in livestock emission measurement and environmental modelling, combining field-based gas quantification with process-based and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling approaches. His research has addressed methane and ammonia emissions from dairy, beef, and pig housing systems, including the development of mitigation strategies and refinement of emission factors under commercial farm conditions.

Raphael recently completed postgraduate studies in Weather and Climate Modelling at Ghent University, strengthening his expertise in atmospheric processes, chemical transport modelling, and data integration. In his current role, he contributes to the UK agricultural ammonia and GHG inventory, working with consortium partners and stakeholders to ensure robust data analysis, model development, and compliance with national and international reporting obligations.
