Field work and field campaign planning

Recently, Dr. Westervelt attending a planning workshop in Kigali, RW on design of an intensive field campaign for East African megacities. The event was hosted at CMU-Africa. Westervelt is a project leader for this ambitious fieldwork effort and also presented some of his air sensor research in Africa. 

 

Following the workshop, Westervelt and a team of 6 students from the University of Nairobi traveled to Mombasa, Kenya to install the city's first ever PM2.5 reference monitor -- a TEOM 1400. This is a collaboration between the Westervelt group, AfriqAir, and the University of Nairobi.
