Webinar Series

Allin-Wayra is hosting a webinar series. The first webinar (April 3, 2025 from 13:00-14:00 UTC) will explore the role of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) activities in addressing air pollution, including their latest report on air quality sensors. The invited speakers are Dr. Sara Basart (WMO) and Dr. Carl Malings (Morgan State University, lead author of the WMO report on small sensors). More information can be found at the registration link.


Katerina Sindelarova is a researcher at the Department of Atmospheric Physics at Charles University in Prague studying volatile organic compounds from biogenic sources (BVOCs). Her main research interests are modelling BVOC emissions from vegetation, influence of input parameters on emissions, comparison of different modelling approaches and impact of BVOCs on local and global atmospheric chemistry. She is a member of the Scientific Steering Committee of GEIA (Global Emission InitiAtive).  




Triennial gathering of fog and dew researchers from around the world, to be held July 23-28, 2023 on the campus of Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado, USA.


Simone Andersen is a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry (MPIC), where she studies the chemistry of organic nitrates using a combination of field measurements from ground and aircraft campaigns in France, Brazil, and Finland, and laboratory experiments in a simulation chamber.



Karn Vohra is a postdoctoral research fellow at University College London (UCL) focusing on the health effects of exposure to air pollution from the oil and gas lifecycle in the US. Karn obtained his PhD in Environmental Health and Risk Management from the University of Birmingham in 2021, funded by the University’s Global Challenges Studentship.



Dr. Muhammad Zeeshaan Shahid is an air quality modeling Scientist. He received his PhD in atmospheric environment from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing China.
