On 18th September at 2pm, Prof Zhong-Ren Peng, of the University of Florida will give an online talk on Air Pollution Monitoring using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for TCD Engineering.
Prof Zhong-Ren Peng is visiting Trinity College Dublin as part of research collaborations in the School of Engineering.
With the great potential of UAV applications, there are opportunities for a range of stakeholders to use this technology for environmental monitoring.
In this talk, Prof Peng presents his groups research over the last number of years as they use UAVs to capture 3D profiles of air pollution in the built environment. This can inform the most appropriate methods for effective mitigation of poor air quality in our cities.
