Yee Ka Wong

Research Scientist

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

My research applies field measurements, laboratory experiments, and data analytics to study the connections between emissions, air quality, and health effects. My vision is, through my research, to provide the scientific basis needed to inform policy development that can, in the near term, alleviate the health burdens of air pollution amid the challenges of urbanization and aging societies, and in the long term, empower societal resilience under the pressure of changing climate and steer societies toward sustainable development.
