Title of the talk:
Αtmospheric Οrganic Aerosol: From the Dawn of History to the Future
Biodata: Spyros Pandis is Professor in the Chemical Engineering Department of the University of Patras in Greece and co-director of the Center for Air Quality and Climater Change in the Foundation for Research and Technology, Hellas (FORTH). He received his PhD from the California Institute of Technology in 1991 and joined the faculty of Carnegie Mellon University in 1993 and of the University of Patras in 2004. His research includes theoretical and experimental studies of atmospheric chemistry as it relates to urban and regional pollution and global climate change. Prof. Pandis has published over 300 peer-reviewed papers, and he is the author together with Prof. Seinfeld of “Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics” a textbook that is widely used around the world. He has been awarded the Fuchs Award by the International Aerosol Research Assembly, the Whitby and Sinclair Awards by the American Association for Aerosol Research, the Cecil Award in Environmental Engineering by the American Institute of Chemical Engineering, the Bjerkness Medal by the European Geophysical Union, and the CAREER award by the US National Science Foundation. He has been the recipient of the Kun Li, the Benjamin Teare and the University of Patras awards for Excellence in Engineering education.
Title of the talk:
Air Pollution, Health and Air Quality Actions: Do we need more evidence or more risk communication?
Biodata: Professor Kalpana Balakrishnan is a senior global environmental health researcher with nearly 30 years of experience in leading large-scale field epidemiological studies in India. Her primary research involvement has been in the area of health effects of household and ambient air pollution and chemical risk assessment. She has designed and conducted multiple cohort studies and has also been involved with multi-country randomized control trials, to strengthen the evidence for efficacy of air pollution interventions on birth/early childhood and adult cardio-vascular outcomes. She is globally acclaimed for her contributions on developing novel exposure assessment approaches to characterize the complex multi-media exposures experienced by rural and urban populations in low- and middle-income countries She is currently engaged in research and training collaborations with a network of more than 50 national and international institutional partners to address national and global health research priorities. She is a distinguished fellow of the National Academy of Medical Sciences in India.
