R Subramanian, Research Fellow

Subramanian (“Subu”) has been studying air pollution and atmospheric chemistry for over twenty years, at universities, research institutions, an instrumentation company, and a think tank across four continents. His areas of expertise include air pollution measurements using low-cost sensors and high-fidelity single-particle instrumentation, particulate matter (PM) source apportionment, air quality management, and climate-relevant superpollutants like black carbon and methane. As a laureate of President Macron’s Make Our Planet Great Again program, he brought together the AfriqAir research consortium housed at KCRC. Subu serves on the steering committees of the IGAC project and the WMO/GAW Global Air Quality Forecasting & Information System (GAFIS) group. He has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and continues to be affiliated with CMU as an adjunct professor.
