💐Best Presentation💐Group 3
Leveraging machine learning models, they aim to predict air quality concentrations in housing units lacking monitoring equipment. @imperialcollege@ERGImperial@UniofExeter@ECEHH
💐Best Q&A💐Group 2(The Sherlock Homies)
Their Idea is to collaborate with Lime Bikes to offer an innovative solution, providing active travel commuters with lower-exposure alternative routes through a pilot study. @imperialcollege@ERGImperial@UniofExeter@ECEHH
💐Best Community Building💐Group 1(Green Air)
They aim to provide crucial insights into air pollution's effects on vegetation health for more informed environmental management strategies. @imperialcollege@ERGImperial@UniofExeter@ECEHH
Great to be at @ERGImperial for @Wearabletrainin last week. After years of using air pollution data for ML it was great to collect some of my own, particularly indoor readings. And to top the week of walking away with Best Presentation for our pilot study!
The week ended with an inspiring keynote by Prof. Frank Kelly, Battcock Chair in Community Health and Policy at Imperial College London, sharing London's environmental journey from pea soup smog to an ultra-low emission city. @imperialcollege@ERGImperial@UniofExeter@ECEHH
Teams prepared for the project pitch, presenting diverse ideas like monitoring air pollution's impact on leaf health & using machine learning for household air quality. Congrats to all prize winners! @NERCscience@imperialcollege@ERGImperial@UniofExeter@ECEHH
Day 4 was action-packed at our training course! Dr. Yiqun Han & Dr. Hanbin Zhang led a coding session, exploring data processing & analysis. Attendees delved into visualizing air pollution & GPS data. @NERCscience@imperialcollege@ERGImperial@UniofExeter@ECEHH
Day 3 Wearable Training Course was filled with insights from Dr. Diana Varaden on community engagement, Andrew Grieve & Dr. Kayla Schulte shared their expertise from the Breathe London project. @NERCscience@imperialcollege@ERGImperial@UniofExeter@ECEHH
Day2 Wearable Training: Prof. Barratt delves into new sensor tech's merits—is it revolutionizing exposure assessment or a trendy distraction? Drs. Yiqun Han & Hanbin Zhang expand on exposure science and study designs. @NERCscience@imperialcollege@ERGImperial@UniofExeter@ECEHH
🚀Achim Haug, Founder & CEO of Airgradient, emphasizes the cost-effective power of modular sensors in raising public awareness of air quality issues. Attendees gained hands-on experience in building these sensors.@NERCscience@imperialcollege@ERGImperial@UniofExeter@ECEHH
🌟 Honored to host UK Clean Air Champion Dr. Gary Fuller for our keynote on "Driving Change through Evidence". Gary's 30+ year career showcases overcoming obstacles to improve UK air quality with research evidence. @NERCscience@imperialcollege@ERGImperial@UniofExeter@ECEHH
💡 Frederic Nicolas, Senior Category Manager at Dyson, shares the behind-the-scenes story of the Breathe London Wearable study using Dyson air monitoring backpacks—an inspiring talk for our attendees. #Dyson@NERCscience@imperialcollege@ERGImperial@UniofExeter@ECEHH
NERC Advanced Training Course on Wearable Technology began YTD, focusing on personal sensing of air pollution & environmental exposures. Insights from Prof. Ben Barratt shed light on crucial environmental issues.@NERCscience@imperialcollege@ERGImperial@UniofExeter@ECEHH
