What's exciting about RADICAL? with Vaishali Vardhan, UCC
We join RADICAL researcher Vaishali Vardhan from University College Cork (UCC), to find out what she finds most exciting about RADICAL.
Vaishali Vardhan is a PhD researcher in the School of Chemistry at UCC. Her work spans atmospheric and materials chemistry as she helps test and develop our electronic sensor 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.
