Congrong He

Dr. Congrong He is a Senior Research Fellow at the School of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, Faculty of Science, Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia. He has been affiliated with the International Laboratory for Air Quality and Health (ILAQH) at QUT since 1999, contributing over three decades of research in atmospheric and environmental sciences.

• BSc in Atmospheric Physics, Nanjing University, China (1982)
• MSc in Environmental Sciences, Murdoch University, Australia (1999)
• PhD in Aerosol Sciences, Queensland University of Technology, Australia (2005)

His research focuses on atmospheric environment, air quality, aerosol science, particle emissions, indoor air, VOCs, and the building environment. He has extensive experience in monitoring and analyzing airborne particles, their formation, health impacts, and environmental behavior. His work bridges environmental science, public health, and engineering, particularly in urban and indoor settings.

The recent publications (2019–2025) highlight a strong trend in aerosol dynamics, bioaerosols, indoor air quality, and pollution control. Key themes include the behavior of printer emissions, secondary organic aerosol formation in urban-forest interfaces, the impact of prescribed burning on light-absorbing carbon, and the use of UV-C for pathogen inactivation. His collaborative work with leading researchers like Morawska and Ristovski underscores his integration into high-impact environmental health research.

Dr. He has not received any explicitly mentioned scientific awards in the provided text.

He has been actively involved in research grants and collaborative projects, particularly within ILAQH, focusing on air quality monitoring, health impacts of aerosols, and emission sources. While no formal students are listed, his work supports broader research teams and projects. He is based at QUT and continues to contribute to critical environmental and public health research.
