Research Profile: Dr. An specializes in atmospheric chemistry with emphasis on air quality forecasting systems across Asian and global scales. His work integrates satellite remote sensing data with atmospheric chemistry models to analyze long-distance transport of pollutants including dust, ozone, SO₂, and NO₂. Current investigations examine biosphere-atmosphere-climate interactions and health impacts of air pollution through advanced simulation frameworks.

Professional Context: Representing China as an external expert through World Meteorological Organization (WMO) partnerships, he maintains dual affiliations between UK academia and China's national meteorological infrastructure while operating from room 10.127 at the University of Leeds.
