Dr Hanbin Zhang is a Lecturer in Environment and Health at the European Centre for Environment and Human Health (ECEHH) and an air pollution exposure scientist and environmental health researcher. His research focuses on:

1) The relationship between health and environmental exposure (e.g. indoor air pollution), measured by portable/wearable sensors, particularly in less developed areas;

2) How activities (e.g. measured GPS tracker) and outdoor air pollution affects personal exposure;

3) Community-driven environmental exposure studies and community-driven solutions.

Hanbin completed his PhD in Environmental Science at King’s College London and worked as a research associate and MRC Early Career Research Fellow at Imperial College London. During his time at Imperial, he co-led education development for his research group, leading several staff-student partnership projects to enhance student learning & teaching innovation, and co-leading an undergraduate module on environment and health. Hanbin also directs a training school on using wearable sensors www.wearabletraining.org.

A selection of research projects Hanbin has worked on includes:

AIRLESS: The Effects Of AIR Pollution On Cardiopulmonary Disease In Urban & Peri-Urban Residents In Beijing;

MELONS: Investigating the consequences of Measurement Error of gradually more sophisticated long-term personal exposure models in assessing health effects: the LOndon Study (MELONS);

as well as other ongoing collaborations on air quality and health in rural China.

Hanbin is a Fellow of Higher Education Association with PgCert in University Learning and Teaching, and happy to supervise PhD students.
