About

Welcome! I’m glad you found my personal website. I’m Yuqing, a doctoral student at the University of Birmingham and maintain these posts in my free time. The webpage documents several facets of my research and life journey. They are, for the most part, scholarly in nature. I hope you find them enjoyable! This site was built with the assistance of CodeSheep, a very kind and knowledgeable blogger. More information will be added smoothly, and some sections will be revised. Please feel free to contact via email with any comments and suggestions.

Curriculum Vitae

Brief Biography

Yuqing Dai studied at the College of Geoscience in China University of Petroleum (Beijing) between 2011 and 2015 (Bachelor’s degree). He obtained his Master’s degree from the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences in University of Birmingham with distinction in 2017 and from the College of Geoscience in the China University of Petroleum (Beijing) in 2019, respectively.

Yuqing currently is a PhD student (2019.10-) in Atmospheric Science, School of Geography, Earth and Environment Sciences, University of Birmingham. He is now supervised by Prof. Rob MacKenzie after Dr.Xiaoming Cai’s retirement. Yuqing is working on street canyon studies, with a focus on the coupled chemical and physical processes within urban street canyons. His research interestes include:

  • Disperson of air pollution in urban street canyons
  • Emission, chemical, and physical effects of VOC free-radical reactions on air quality
  • Urban air quality modelling
  • Air quality interventions Policy efficacy evaluation
