View DetailsDr. Alena BARTONOVA
Project Co-ordinator, Citisense
Research Director, Norwegian Institute for Air Research
Alena Bartonova is a mathematical statistician turned environmental scientist, with main interest in air quality and environmental health. She works in air quality monitoring and assessment, and in air exposure. Environmental governance, including how to involve lay people with the environment and air quality, how to increase awareness of human activities' contribution to pollution, and awareness of the benefits of environmentally sound behaviour, are among her favourite topics too. Alena Bartonova is co-ordinating the EU project CITI-SENSE (Development of sensor-based Citizens' Observatory Community for improving quality of life in cities), which revolves around the use of mobile sensor technology to allow you and me to monitor air quality in our community. In addition, the use of mobile applications allows us to share information with each other, and gives us a better basis for being able to reduce the pollution impact on our society and ourselves.

View DetailsProf. Mike JERRETT
Professor
UC Berkeley, USA; UCLA, USA
Michael Jerrett is an internationally recognized expert in Geographic Information Science for Exposure Assessment and Spatial Epidemiology. He is professor and chair of the Department of Environmental Health Sciences in the Fielding School of Public Health at UCLA. Dr. Jerrett earned his PhD in Geography from the University of Toronto (Canada). For the past 15 years, Dr. Jerrett has researched how to characterize population exposures to air pollution and built environmental variables, how to understand the social distribution of these exposures among different groups (e.g., poor vs. wealthy), and how to assess the health effects from environmental exposures. Over the decade, Dr. Jerrett has also studied the contribution of the built and natural environment to physical activity, behavior and obesity. In 2009, the United States National Academy of Science appointed Dr. Jerrett to the Committee on “Future of Human and Environmental Exposure Science in the 21st Century.” The committee recently concluded its task with the publication of a report entitled "Exposure Science in the 21st Century: A Vision and a Strategy." In 2013, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency appointed Dr. Jerrett to the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Sub-Committee for Nitrogen Oxides. In 2014, Dr. Jerrett was named to the Thomson Reuters List of Highly Cited Researchers, indicating he is in the top 1% of all authors in the fields of Environment/Ecology in terms of citation by other researchers.
View DetailsDr. Xi LU
Associate Professor
Tsinghua, China
Xi Lu is Associate Professor in School of Environment, Tsinghua University. Dr. Lu received his PhD in John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University in 2010. After then, he continued in working at Harvard as a postdoctoral fellow, research associate and lecturer until joining Tsinghua in 2015. His research interests emphasize study of the technical, economic, and environmental dimensions of low or zero carbon energy sources as a means to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and air pollutants.
