Biography
Kaarle Kupiainen first came to IIASA in 2001 as a participant in the Young Scientists Summer Program. From 2004 to 2005 he worked as a Research Scholar with the Transboundary Air Pollution (TAP) Program and returned again in 2010 to work with the Atmospheric Pollution and Economic Development (APD) Program, now Air Quality and Greenhouse Gases (AIR) Program. Dr. Kupiainen has a PhD in environmental science & policy on air pollution issues from the University of Helsinki. He has worked in research and development projects regarding airborne particulate matter, air pollutants and climate relevant emissions and their mitigation in governmental and private sectors.
Research Interest
Dr. Kupiainen's ongoing research work includes emission modeling of short-lived climate forcers including black and organic carbon as well as non-exhaust pollutants (road dust) emissions of traffic.
