Tianren Wu

Dr. Tianren Wu is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering and Construction Management at the University of Cincinnati. His research aims to establish new frontiers in Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) research, provide novel fundamental insights into indoor air pollution, human exposure, and health effects, and develop solutions to secure a comfortable and healthy living environment. 

Dr. Tianren Wu is currently seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join the team. The successful candidate will take a leading role in research projects to characterize indoor air pollutants by using an advanced online high-resolution chemical ionization mass spectrometer (CIMS).
