Kasturi Kanniah is a mid-career lecturer at a local university in Malaysia, specialising in air pollution research using remote sensing (optical) technology. Over the years, her work has focused on understanding the distribution and impact of air pollutants using satellite-derived data. Recently, she has developed a keen interest in utilising LiDAR technology to extract urban forest parameters for urban air quality modelling. Her 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, she has not yet undergone formal training in operating LiDAR instruments. Participating in this training would significantly enhance her technical expertise and enable her to apply LiDAR technology effectively in urban air pollution studies.
