Kasper Vita Kristensen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Bio- and Chemical Technology at Aarhus University’s AU Engineering school. His primary research focus lies in environmental engineering with a specialization in indoor air quality, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and air purification technologies.
- Position: Associate Professor
- Institution: Aarhus University
- School: AU Engineering
- Department: Department of Bio- and Chemical Technology
- Research Focus: Indoor Air Quality, VOCs, Air Cleaning, Exposure Assessment
His research centers on understanding the sources, dynamics, and health impacts of indoor air pollutants, particularly in classrooms and residential environments. He investigates how air cleaners and UV technologies affect indoor air composition, including unintended side effects such as ozone generation. His work combines field measurements, laboratory experiments, and high-resolution monitoring techniques.
The recent publications reflect a strong trend in indoor environmental quality, especially in educational settings. Key themes include VOC behavior, effectiveness of air purification systems, influence of human activities (like cooking and candle burning), and real-time monitoring using low-cost sensors. His studies often involve time-resolved data collection and evaluation of technological interventions in real-world conditions.
Kristensen actively contributes to major conferences in indoor air and atmospheric sciences, though no specific awards or fellowships are mentioned in the provided text.
He collaborates extensively, notably with S. Sørensen, on projects related to indoor air quality assessments. While there is no explicit mention of student supervision or grant funding in the text, his involvement in large-scale studies and peer-reviewed research suggests active research leadership. He has also contributed to public outreach through reports like the Masseeksperiment 2021, which engaged students in air quality monitoring.
