Particle Instruments & Diagnostics
 |
Particle Instruments and Diagnostics is a sub-area of the Centre for Atmospheric & Instrumentation Research (CAIR). It is concerned with the development of instrumentation and techniques for the detection, monitoring, characterisation, and analysis of airborne particulates in atmospheric, environmental, and security fields. The research has been ongoing for more than twenty-five years and specialises in instrumentation design employing the latest developments in optical, optoelectronic, laser, and electronics technology. Over the past decade, this work has been supported with grants totalling more than £6.2 million from sponsors including the EPSRC, NERC, Leverhulme Trust, DSTL, the US National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research, Germany, and commerical companies in the UK, USA, and Europe. The activities have resulted in world-wide patents for particle monitoring and characterisation systems and have led to several commercial particle monitoring instrument systems. The research interacts closely with CAIR's Light Scattering & Radiative Processes and Atmospheric Dynamics & Air Quality sub-areas, and we recommend you visit their pages too. |
