I am a mid-career lecturer at a local university in Malaysia, specialising in air pollution research using remote sensing (optical) technology. Over the years, my work has focused on understanding the distribution and impact of air pollutants using satellite-derived data. Recently, I have developed a keen interest in utilising LiDAR technology to extract urban forest parameters for urban air quality modelling. My primary goal is to investigate the role of urban vegetation in reducing air pollution, particularly in large Malaysian cities, and to quantify its contribution to improving air quality. However, I have not yet undergone formal training in operating LiDAR instruments. Participating in this training would significantly enhance my technical expertise and enable me to apply LiDAR technology effectively in urban air pollution studies.
