معرفی
Dr Alice Handy is a Research Associate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Imperial College London's Faculty of Engineering, specializing in mathematical and statistical modelling of environmental systems for air quality and building ventilation applications.
Her educational background includes:
- PhD in Fluids Group, Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge (2019-2024)
- MEng from Whittle Laboratory, University of Cambridge (2015-2019)
Handy's research utilizes eddy diffusion models, machine learning (PCA, clustering), and Bayesian approaches to model indoor pollutant dispersion, human exposure, and air cleaner optimization. She leads data-driven analyses in the SAMHE initiative (monitoring air quality in over 600 UK classrooms) and contributes to the CHILI project exploring air quality, built environment, energy use, and health outcomes. Her work in the Future Urban Ventilation Network advocates for holistic ventilation considering indoor-outdoor interconnection.
Recent publications focus on nationwide studies of UK schools, examining particulate matter concentrations and classroom ventilation rates using CO₂ data to identify pollution patterns and inform practical interventions for healthier learning environments.
Alice co-leads the CHILI Early Career Researcher Network, fostering professional development, and participates in the Air Quality Communications Network to enhance public understanding of air quality issues.
