Dr. Kevin Wyche is a reader in Atmospheric Science within the School of Applied Sciences (SAS) and the director of the University of Brighton's Center for Earth Observation Science (CEObS). He is also lead of the SAS Environment and Public Health Research and Enterprise Group (EPHREG) and founder and Principal Investigator of Air Environment Research (AER) and the Brighton Atmospheric Observatory (BAO), a state-of-the-art, highly instrumented real-time tropospheric observation laboratory. His research interests are based around the study of the Earth's atmosphere, with focus on tropospheric chemistry and air pollution. More specifically, his interdisciplinary research falls into the areas of (i) fundamental chemical processes controlling tropospheric composition and change, (ii) air quality science, and (iii) analytical instrument development and application in Earth Observation.

Mr. Balendra VS Chauhan is a Ph.D. Research scholar at the Center for Earth Observation Science, School of Applied Sciences, University of Brighton, UK. He is working on environmental research based on finding the effect of ultrafine particles on human health. He is incorporating artificial intelligence in the environmental research. His research areas are i) applications of artificial intelligence in environmental pollution mitigation, ii) experimental analysis on exposure of lung tissue with ultrafine particles, iii) engine emission and performance testing using alternative fuels, iv) and motion (Sedimentation) of microparticles in fluids. Currently, he is also working as a Science and Engineering lecturer at Kaplan International College London, UK. He has an experience of working as a Young Scientist at the Institute of Fundamental and Technological Research, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland.

Dr. Sneha Verma is a Ph.D. researcher at the School of Engineering and Technology at City, University of London, UK. She has received her M.Phil. in 2020 from City University of London. She has completed her Bachelor's and Master's in the year of 2015 and 2017, respectively, from India. She is also a recipient of prestigious Doctoral fellowship at City University of London to server her Ph.D. degrees. She also received the status of Associate Fellow (AFHEA) against the UK Professional Standards Framework. Worshipful Company of Scientific Instrument Makers awarded her post-grad award for her excellent research work. Her research interests include the application of nanotechnology, finite element method modeling, gold nanoantennas, surface plasmons in artificial intelligence, and machine learning.
