Dr Langerman’s area of expertise is the environmental aspects of energy. She conducted her PhD in Atmospheric Science through the Climatology Research Group at the 欧美福利100000 of the Witwatersrand. During that time, she worked on several international field experiments, including SAFARI-2000, UAE²听and ARREX, where she collected airborne measurements of atmospheric chemistry and clouds. She conducted a postdoc at the National Centre for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado and was a visiting scientist at the Naval Research Laboratory in Monterey, California. Dr Langerman then worked at Eskom for 12 years, first in the Research Department and then in the Environmental Management Department where she managed the Air Quality Centre of Excellence. She spearheaded Eskom’s air quality offsets programme, which aimed to improve air quality in low income communities by moving households from coal to cleaner energy sources, and was instrumental in drafting Eskom’s Air Quality Strategy. She was President of the National Association of Clean Air (NACA) from 2012 to 2014. Dr Langerman has twice won the prize for best presentation at the NACA Annual Conference. She started as the Energy Studies Honours course coordinator at UJ in 2018.
