Dr. Ying I. Tsai has been a member of several scientific societies and organizations in Taiwan and Europe, especially the Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research (TAAR) and The Nordic Society for Aerosol Research, European Aerosol Assembly (EAA). He was the former chairman of the Department of Environmental Resources Management (2012-2014) and the Director of Environmental Safety and Hygiene Center (2007-2012), Chia Nan University of Pharmacy and Science.
He has been honored with an Annual Outstanding Industry-Academy Cooperation Award of the Ministry of Education, Taiwan and the Best Research Paper Award many times at Chia Nan University of Pharmacy and Science. Currently, he is working as a Professor at the Department of Environmental Engineering and Science and Director at the Indoor Air Quality Research and Service Center, Chia Nan University of Pharmacy and Science, Taiwan.
Dr. Tsai serves as an Editor, Associate Editor or Editorial Board Members for more than 15 international journals. He has been interested in the chemical properties of atmospheric aerosol and long-range transport of aerosol, but recently he extended his attention to the emission identification and health risk potential of allergy-/irritation- causing aromatic substances in aerosol from incense burning in the indoor environments.
Dr Dean Venables is a lecturer in physical & environmental chemistry in the School of Chemistry and in the Environmental Research Institute, University College Cork. He is a research leader in the Centre for Research into Atmospheric Chemistry and is also affiliated with the Tyndall National Institute. His research interests focus on atmospheric chemistry and spectroscopic instrument development for quantifying trace gases and characterising aerosol optical properties.
Dr. Xinfeng Wang conducts research on atmospheric chemistry, focusing on the measurements, sources, chemistry, and transport of air pollutants in particular particulate matters and nitrogen containing compounds.
