Current Scientific Activity

 

Nguyen Thi Kim Oanh got her Dipl. Eng. in Meteorology (1978) from Odessa Hydrometeorology Institute, Ukraine; M. Eng. (1991) and Dr. Eng. (1994) from AIT, Thailand. Her research focuses on characterization of air pollution in Asian countries including particulate matter, carbonaceous aerosol, ozone and toxic volatile organic compounds using the approaches of field measurements, emission inventory and modelling studies at urban, national and regional. She intensively involves in the research on interaction between air quality and climate and has conducted several demonstration projects addressing emission reduction measures from key source sectors in Asia with the co-benefit analysis (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Nguyen_Thi_Oanh).

Summary of Professional Achievments 

She has started her work as a faculty member at AIT since 1997, focusing on teaching and research in air pollution engineering and management. She served as a vice-chair of 2011 United Nation Environmental Program – World Meteorological Organization (UNEP-WMO) “Integrated Assessment of Black Carbon and Tropospheric Ozone”. Presently, she is a member of the Asia Pacific Clean Air Partnership (APCAP) Science Panel and is the coordinating lead author and lead authors of several chapters of “UNEP Asia Pacific Solution Report” released in 2018. Being an elected member of the Scientific Steering Committee of the IGAC (International Global Atmospheric Chemistry) and a co-chair of IGAC-MANGO (IGAC Monsoon Asia & Oceania Networking Group) she has contributed substantially in the capacity building for Asian developing countries in the atmospheric science field. In 2016, she was appointed as a World Health Organization (WHO) expert in the Guideline Development Group for the update of the WHO Global Air Quality Guidelines. Since 2016, Prof. Kim Oanh also serves as an Adjunct Professor at Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU), Vietnam where she has her Air Pollution Group operated. She has extensive experience and professional networking capacity and she has been serving as PI or Co-PI of 45 regional collaboration research projects.
