Atmospheric scientist studying air pollution sources, composition, and health impacts through field measurements and data analytics.
I am a Research Scientist at the Division of Environment and Sustainability, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). My research applies field measurements, laboratory experiments, and data analytics to study the connections between emissions, air quality, and health effects. I hold a Ph.D. in Environmental Science, Policy and Management from HKUST, with expertise spanning source apportionment of particulate matter, traffic-related air pollution, toxic air pollutant monitoring, and low-cost sensor networks.
