Harsh Sahu

Harsh Sahu is a researcher at the Leibniz-Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy (ATB) in Potsdam, Germany, affiliated with the Sensors and Modelling department. His research focuses on environmental monitoring in agricultural systems, particularly gas emissions from livestock buildings.

His primary research interests include environmental monitoring, agricultural engineering, gas emissions (ammonia, methane, carbon dioxide), climate and emission measurement in livestock buildings, data science in bioeconomy, atmospheric modeling, and sensor technology. His work involves field experiments in naturally ventilated dairy barns, employing advanced instrumentation such as Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers and ultrasonic anemometers for high-resolution gas concentration and wind flow measurements.

His recent publication analyzes vertical concentration gradients of ammonia, methane, and carbon dioxide at the outlet of a naturally ventilated dairy building, investigating the effects of sampling height and wind speed on emission measurement accuracy. The study highlights significant spatial dispersion of gases, particularly under low wind conditions, and recommends optimal sampling positions to minimize measurement errors. The research contributes to improving the precision of direct emission measurement methods in agricultural settings.
