Dr. Ekbordin Winijkul is an Associate Professor in the Environmental Engineering and Management program, Asian Institute of Technology. He got his Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA in 2015. Before joining AIT, Dr. Ekbordin worked as project coordinator for the World Bank and Thailand Pollution Control Department to reduce air pollution emission from diesel vehicles in Bangkok. He also worked at Argonne National Laboratory (USA), International Institute for Applied System Analysis (Austria) and Atmospheric and Environmental Research, Inc. (USA), focusing on emission inventory development of different anthropogenic combustion sources. His current research includes near real-time emission inventory, air quality management, satellite remote sensing for air quality monitoring and airborne microplastics.
