Pollutant emission estimation
We combine field measurements with sophisticated modeling tools to characterize pollutant emissions from various sources, particularly motor-vehicles, from local to regional scale.

Annual average PM2.5 concentration field as simulated by 14 different methods, including the simple central monitor, aerosol optical depth, dispersion model (RLINE), chemical transport model (CMAQ), and hybrid data fusion techniques
Air quality modeling
We uses both empirical and mechanistic air quality models to simulate the spatiotemporal distributions of air pollutants concentrations, and how the concentrations respond to variations in emissions

Air pollution measurements
We design and deploy smart and low-cost air quality sensor network to measurement pollutant concentrations in the ambient environment. We also perform mobile measurements using bus and our own custom-designed mobile lab.

Exposure and health impact estimation
We use big data and smart phone technologies to better understand individual movements in space and time, and use these data to improve air pollution exposure estimation for epidemiological studies.
