معرفی
Dr. Marvin Shaw is an NCAS Research Fellow in the Department of Chemistry at the University of York, UK. His work focuses on urban air quality, particularly identifying primary emission sources of gas-phase air pollutants like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in urban environments. He employs advanced techniques such as proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) and selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) coupled with meteorological measurements via eddy covariance. His research spans ground-based and airborne platforms, with notable studies in Greater London and other urban centers. Dr. Shaw’s contributions include advancing emission inventory accuracy, evaluating low-cost sensor performance for air quality monitoring, and exploring the spatial and temporal distribution of pollutants like nitrogen oxides and ozone.
His research interests emphasize the interplay between emission sources, atmospheric chemistry, and human exposure, with a focus on improving pollution mitigation strategies. Key areas include vehicle emission quantification, indoor air quality, and the role of reactive halogens in marine boundary layer chemistry. His interdisciplinary approach bridges field measurements, laboratory analyses, and computational modeling to address complex environmental challenges.
Dr. Shaw has collaborated on projects such as the INGENIOUS initiative to understand home-based air pollution and has contributed to international efforts like the BLEACH experiment to study halogen chemistry in tropical marine environments. His work advances both fundamental understanding and practical applications in environmental science and policy.
