Aerosol & Air Quality

Research Overview

Air quality management plays a pivotal role in safeguarding public health and the environment. Our lab recognizes the significance of a comprehensive air quality management cycle, which includes continuous monitoring, identification of pollution sources, data-driven decision-making, and the implementation of effective control measures. Our research focuses on low-cost sensor development, source apportionment, satellite data utilization for air quality assessment, land use regression models using GIS, and the development and assessment of air pollution control technologies. We aim to seek innovative solutions to address the challenges posed by air pollution and its impact on public health.

Areas of focus includes:

  • Low-cost Sensors
  • Satellite and Reanalysis Data
  • Source Apportionment
  • Air pollution Forecasting
