Maruicio Osses
Mauricio Osses is a full-time academic at USM-Chile's Department of Mechanical Engineering and adjunct researcher at the Center for Climate Research and Resilience (CR2-Chile). I am also the Lead Author of the 2027 IPCC Methodology Report on Inventories for Short-Lived Climate Forcers, Volume 2 Energy, Chapter 3 Mobile Combustion. I am now undertaking research into the relationship between health effects, climate change, air quality, and transportation emissions. My approach entails interdisciplinary and international collaboration, promoting an exchange of knowledge between science and decision makers, and encouraging young professionals and researchers to participate in these discussions. My profession has primarily focused on emission/energy inventories from mobile sources, experimental measurements of fuel consumption and vehicle emissions for the development of emission factors, pollutant reduction technologies, urban traffic activity and driving dynamics, the impact of fuel composition on vehicle emissions, alternative fuels, electromobility, and the modeling of vehicle emissions under urban conditions and their connection with air dispersion models. Relevant academic and professional international activities include Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Ghana, Japan, Kenya, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Paraguay, the Philippines, Peru, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
