What's exciting about RADICAL? with Dr Kusuma Urs, UCC
We join RADICAL materials physicist Dr Kusuma Urs from University College Cork (UCC), to find out what she finds most exciting about RADICAL.
Kusuma Urs is a postdoctoral researcher in the Materials Chemistry and Analysis Group at UCC. She has a wealth of expertise in developing low-cost gas sensors, and joined the RADICAL project in 2022 to further develop our sensors for atmospheric radicals.
RADICAL is a Horizon 2020 FET-Open project to develop a brand-new way of detecting atmospheric radicals in real-time. This will be a small, low-cost electronic sensor that will ‘sniff’ out short-lived radicals.
This could be a step-change in how scientists monitor and model the role of radicals in air quality and climate change.
RADICAL is led by UCC and includes five other partners across Ireland, Germany, Greece, Bulgaria, and the UK.
The RADICAL project has received funding from the European Union (EU)'s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 899282.
