  1. USAID-NSF, PEER-9 “Nano-assisted bioremediation of diffused dioxins in soil and sediment in Vietnam” (Dioxin-bioremediation). This project aims to reduce residual dioxins contaminated in soils/sediments from the past use of Agent Orange during the Vietnam War. Dioxins in soils/sediments are ultimately destroyed by indigenous microorganisms in a novel stepwise procedure of sequential anaerobic-aerobic biodegradation. In cooperation with Van Lang university and University of Science and Technology in Hochiminh City. 2020-2022. PI.
  2. UNEP ROAP funded project “UNEP Clean Air Solutions Tracker with focus on Child-centered Solutions”. The main objectives: i) identify and promote child-centered clean air solutions and strengthen implementation uptake of the clean air measures and ii) analyze the current and potential implementation of UNEP recommended 25 clean air measures in Vietnam and Myanmar. 2020-2021. PI.
  3. PCD (Pollution Control Department of Thailand) funded PM2.5 research project “Development of web-based emission inventory for major emission sources of PM2.5 in Thailand”. 2020. A collaborative project which aims to develop a web-based emission inventory database template customized for Thailand. PI, in collaboration with Dr. Ekbordin (Co-PI).
  4. SEI-SUMERNET (Sida) funded project “Atmospheric deposition to large river basins and potential effects on the water environment; DEPOSITION”, 2020-2021. This is a collaborative research consortium led by AIT in collaboration with the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP), Cambodia and Nong Lam University (NLU), Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The multiple benefits of the air emission reduction to the river water quality, ecosystems, air quality and climate can be demonstrated with the ultimate goal to safeguard human right to clean water, clean air and climate justice. PI.
  5. ISC ROAP (International Science Council, Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific), funded project “Assessment of the emissions of street cooking activities in Bangkok and subsequent effects on ambient PM2.5 and human health”. This project focuses on emission inventory and the use of sensors for monitoring exposure to street cooking smoke in Bangkok. 2020-21. PI.
