ÁREAS DE INVESTIGACIÓN
Su tema de investigación es la calidad del aire, específicamente: el diseño de planes de descontaminación en zonas urbanas, la determinación de las principales fuentes de contaminación en una zona dada, la modelación de meteorología y calidad del aire a diferentes escalas (local, urbana, regional), y la medición de contaminación en el interior de viviendas.
