The Fifth Lecture of “The Faculty of Innovation Engineering of M.U.S.T. - Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Lecture Series - Data Experiments and Statistical Analysis in Atmospheric Environment Studies” Successfully Held

On the occasion of the 24th Anniversary of the Macau University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Innovation Engineering held a series of Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Lectures, and invited experts from different fields to give a series of special lectures and share their research results and professional knowledge in the field of cutting-edge science and technology with teachers and students of our university. There are altogether 9 lectures in the Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Lecture Series, with the fifth lecture held at the 2:30 pm on April 17, 2024 at MUST LIU’s Innovation and Technology Center.

This lecture was hosted by Professor Ma Yi Bing, the Head of Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, the Director of Macao Environmental Research Institute, and attended by Chair Professor Wu Nai Qi, the Head of Department of Engineering Science, Assistant Professor You Yan of the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, attracted 30 bachelor and master students from the Faculty of Innovation Engineering participated.

Prof. Songxi Chen, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chair Professor of Peking University, was invited to deliver a keynote speech on the theme of "Data Experiments and Statistical Analysis in Atmospheric Environment Studies", presenting research effort designed to extract underlying emission information from air pollution monitoring network data, and part of their effort on the analysis and tracking of air pollution situation in northern China since 2014. The talk gives mathematical and statistical formulation as well as data experiments constructed to gain underlying emission information from meteorologically confounded air quality data. This includes methods to remove meteorological confounding, indices to measure man-made versus natural meteorological effects on the air pollution, and data experiments to measure local emissions.
