Enda Hayes

Enda Hayes serves as Professor of Air Quality & Carbon Management and Director of Research and Enterprise at the School of Architecture and Environment, University of the West of England (UWE Bristol). With over a decade of professional experience in environmental science, he specializes in atmospheric emissions management including odour, bioaerosols, traditional air pollutants, and greenhouse gases. His work spans technical modeling, policy development, and community engagement across multiple international projects.

Dr. Hayes holds a PhD, MSc, and BSc (Hons), along with professional memberships MIEnvSc and MIAQM. His educational foundation has enabled extensive collaboration with governmental bodies including Defra, Devolved Administrations, South African government, Irish EPA, European Environment Agency, and European Commission.

His research focuses on Air Quality Management, carbon management, emission inventories, dispersion modeling, bioaerosols, water-energy-food nexus, Water Security, and ammonia emissions. Recent work demonstrates interdisciplinary approaches combining environmental science with social dimensions of pollution management. He has particular expertise in urban air quality, agricultural emissions, and health impacts of traffic-related pollution.

Analysis of Dr. Hayes' 136 publications reveals evolving research trajectories from technical emission modeling toward integrated socio-technical approaches. His recent work (2023-2025) shows strong emphasis on citizen science applications, health impacts (especially on children), advanced air quality forecasting techniques, and the psychological dimensions of climate decision-making. A consistent theme across his publications is bridging technical environmental solutions with social equity considerations.

Dr. Hayes leads significant research initiatives including the Horizon 2020 ClariCity Project as Technical Director, the AmmoniaN2K Project with University College Dublin and Irish EPA, multiple NERC-funded bioaerosol studies, and European Commission support on Ambient Air Quality Directive review. His projects consistently integrate scientific rigor with practical policy applications and community engagement.
