Archit Mehra

I research Atmospheric Chemistry, Indoor Air Quality & the Built Environment.

I completed my PhD from The University of Manchester and in partnership with Aerodyne Research Inc., as part of the NERC-funded Earth Atmosphere & Oceans (EAO) Doctoral Training Programme.

My PhD thesis focused on Determining Anthropogenic and Biogenic Contributions to Secondary Organic Aerosol (SOA).

I’m currently a postdoctoral researcher working on Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) at The University of Chester, working on the EPSRC funded IMPacts of Cooking and Cleaning on indoor Air quality: towards healthy BuiLdings for the futurE: IMPeCCABLE project.

I manage the DOMestic Energy Systems & Technology Incubator (DOMESTIC) facility at The University of Chester for the study of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in the built environment.

My current interests include:

  • Data Science & Machine Learning.
  • Low-Cost Sensor Networks.
  • Healthy Buildings.
  • Ventilation Strategies & Energy Consumption.
  • Building Regulations & Design.
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics Modelling.
