This week we welcome two up and coming researchers and academics to discuss a topic that has recently been getting some much deserved attention. Most people spend about 1/3 of their lives in bed and or sleeping. What are we breathing or absorbing and how does it affect our health and performance? Dr. Boor and Dr. Laverge will tell us what they have learned during their literature review on the topic. We also look forward to learning what these up and coming academics feel are other important IAQ questions and answers we will be discussing over the next decade. Dr. Boor joined us once before with Dr. Richard Corsi for one of our Research to Practice shows Episode 343     Dr. Brandon E. Boor is an Assistant Professor in the Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University. His research group at Purdue is focused on understanding the dynamics of airborne particles (aerosols) in buildings and human exposure to indoor air pollution. He teaches courses on indoor air quality and architectural engineering and advises the Global Air Quality Trekkers undergraduate EPICS team. He has previously worked with indoor air quality and aerosol research groups at the University of Helsinki, Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, and VTT Technical Research Centre in Finland, as well as the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Maryland. He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin in 2015.      Dr. Jelle Laverge (1984) received his engineering masters from Ghent University in 2007. From 2005 to 2007 he was a part-time employee of Bureau Bouwtechniek in Antwerp. Since 2007 he is a fulltime researcher and PhD-candidate at the building physics, construction and building services research group of the department of architecture and urban planning at Ghent University. In 2011 he received a master's degree in Law from the same university. He was a part-time building physics lecturer at KaHo Sint-Lieven Gent for the 2011 spring semester. With the support of the FWO (grant V430911N), he was a visiting scholar at the University of Texas at Austin during the summer of 2011. With a dissertation entitled 'Design strategies for residential ventilation systems', he obtained a PhD in 2013. He is a member of ISIAQ, SRS and ASHRAE.

Richard Corsi

This week on IAQ Radio we welcome back Richard Corsi, PhD and Brandon Boor for a discussion about bringing research to practitioners. We will focus on some of Mr. Boorâ??s research projects and discuss how they can assist IAQ practitioners in the real world. Dr. Corsi is the Chair &amp; ECH Bantel Professor for Professional Practice Civil, Architectural &amp; Environmental Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. He earned his Ph.D. in civil engineering from the University of California at Davis in 1989. He joined the faculty of The University of Texas at Austin in 1994. Dr. Corsi researches indoor air quality, including sources and control of indoor air pollution and human exposure to indoor toxins. He has also studied how architectural materials can remove chemicals from building air, offering protection for occupants following terrorist attacks.    Brandon Boor completed his undergraduate studies at York College of PA where he had the opportunity to do an engineering co-op with Andy Persily's IAQ group at NIST. Dr. Persily was a guest on IAQ Radio May 21, 2010. This experience sparked his interest in IAQ research. Brandon began graduate studies at UT Austin in 2009, and has worked with Dr. Corsi and others on various research projects related to human exposure and particle resuspension. He is currently living in Helsinki, Finland, where he has spent over a year and a half working with groups at the University of Helsinki and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.    We are also looking forward to an update on the IAQA/ASHRAE unification with Dr. Eva King. This will also be the first in a monthly series of interviews with IAQA reps on how things are going with the two groups now working together. LEARN MORE this week on IAQ Radio!
