Research interests
My Ph.D. research focuses on the Assessment of Low-Cost Particulate Matter Sensors and Their applications for In-Situ Monitoring. A citizen science approach was adopted for the sensor application, involving children and parents in the research process while also increasing awareness of local air quality concerns and related health risks.
