Anna Molter

Dr. Anna Molter is a Lecturer/Assistant Professor in Environmental Modelling at University College Dublin (UCD), with a joint appointment in the School of Architecture, Planning and Environmental Policy and the School of Biosystems and Food Engineering. She joined UCD in 2020 as a postdoctoral researcher on the WeCount project, focusing on citizen science studies of urban traffic using low-cost sensors. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, air pollution impacts, and sustainable urban planning.

Education:

• BSc in Biological Sciences, University of Essex
• MSc in Pollution and Environmental Control, University of Manchester
• PhD in Environmental Epidemiology, University of Manchester

Research Interests: Her research integrates environmental science, public health, and technology, with a focus on air pollution, citizen science, urban sustainability, and climate change mitigation. She leads projects like the SHIFT initiative, evaluating cycling infrastructure, and the I-CHANGE project, promoting behavioral change through participatory approaches.

Articles Trends: Her recent work emphasizes citizen science’s role in climate action, urban noise pollution modeling, and the efficacy of active mobility infrastructure. She also explores equity in urban planning and the use of digital tools for environmental monitoring.

Awards & Grants:

• Recipient of the European Union’s Citizen Science Prize (2025) and Women in Science Mentoring Award (2025)
• Grants include the Horizon 2020-funded I-CHANGE and the Irish-funded SHIFT project

Advising & Grants: Supervises PhD students and coordinates courses like Green Technologies Project and Remote Sensing and GIS. Her grants focus on environmental justice and sustainable infrastructure.

Labs/Teams: Collaborates with interdisciplinary teams on initiatives like the UDARA project (air pollution exposure modeling) and the WeCount citizen science network.
