Current Scientific Activity

Ekbordin Winijkul, is an assistant professor in the Department of Energy, Environment, and Climate Change at AIT. He received his PhD in environmental engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2015 and Master of Engineering from AIT in 2002. His research interests are emission inventory and inverse model, air pollution modeling and air pollution monitoring and control. He has experiences in working with different research institutes in Southeast Asia, Europe, and USA. His recent research has focused on the effects of short-lived climate pollutants (i.e. black carbon) on the glaciers over the Himalayan region.
