Mingming Lu

I am a tenured Associate Professor with the Dept of Biomedical, Chemical and Environmental Engineering, University of Cincinnati. I specializes in air pollutant measurement and characterization. I have studied diesel emissions from non-road sources, which tend to be more polluting than on-road diesel trucks. I have studied transportation impacts on air pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, particulate matter and black carbon. I have measured air pollutant emissions from trains and buses with portable instruments in a backpack, when I traveled to China and Singapore. I teach courses in air quality and sustainability. I have been actively involved in various educational activities, at the university, with professional organizations and also in the community. I received the College of Engineering and Applied Science Master Educator Award in Spring 2015, and the American Chemical Society Committee on Environmental Improvement, Award for Incorporating Sustainability into Chemistry Education in Oct. 2013.

I am passionate about the air monitoring in a backpack idea, and want to see communities able to know the quality of the air they breathe in real time.
