Bijay Sharma is a Senior Research Fellow at the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, IIT Mandi. He is currently pursuing PhD in understanding the aerosol-induced oxidative stress and disease burden in biomass-dependent households of rural northeastern India. His interest lies in understanding the ambient and indoor aerosol chemistry in general, their source profiles, transport, and atmospheric processing. It also encompasses assessing their impact on climate and human health. His future interest lies in investigating the emerging contaminants and establishing techniques/mitigation measures to improve the ambient and indoor air quality.
