معرفی
Brandon Boor is an Assistant Professor at the Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Purdue University. He received a NSF CAREER Award (2018-2024, $500,000) for research on organic nanoaerosols in indoor environments, focusing on their formation, growth, and phase state. His work addresses critical gaps in understanding indoor air quality (IAQ), with implications for public health and sustainable building systems.
- Research Focus: Indoor nanoaerosol dynamics, HVAC filtration, human exposure pathways, and chemical transformations in built environments
- Key Tools: Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry (PTR-MS), advanced aerosol instrumentation, field campaigns at Purdue ReNEWW House and Herrick Living Lab
- Global Impact: Studies in Jordan, Kenya, and the Eastern Mediterranean region address urban and rural IAQ challenges
Recent publications reveal a focus on consumer product emissions (scented candles, hair care), occupant behavior effects (cooking, HVAC systems), and health implications of indoor pollutants. His educational initiatives emphasize team-based learning and public engagement, including outreach in Kenya and at Purdue's ReNEWW House.
Scientific Awards:
- NSF CAREER Award (2018-2024) for nanoaerosol research
