Over 7 million premature deaths annually are associated with poor air quality worldwide. We also spend over 90% of our time indoors and over 25% of the systems that deliver air into our homes and offices have undiagnosed issues. The current state of affairs is unsustainable. I have been developing add-ons for HVAC systems that measure indoor air quality and alert you when HVAC is malfunctioning as well as notifies you about likely sources of air pollution.
I have a background in arts, engineering, chemistry and design. My PhD work involved the development of novel devices and adaptable wireless networks for air pollution monitoring. My research work has been recognized by UofT Magazine, Phys.org, UofT News, Metro News, CTV News. I enjoy coming up with elegant solutions to big problems, transforming current systems and our future in the process.
