Dr. Alvin Lai received his bachelor B. Eng. in Building Services Engineering from Hong Kong Polytechnic University and his MPhil. from Hong Kong University. He obtained his Ph.D. from Imperial College. He spent three years working as a post-doctorate fellow in University of California, Berkeley before joining Nanyang Technology University, Singapore in December 2000. He is a Associate Professor of Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering since February, 2007. His main research areas are air quality with the emphasis on airborne particles, exposure, aerosol science and technology and filtration technology.
