Nanoparticles in Non-Exhaust Emissions: Air Pollution Implications of Net Zero Transport
This is an online event. If you're interested in joining this seminar, please contact netzero@kcl.ac.uk for the Teams meeting link.
This month we are joined by Dr Philip D. Howes from the University of Sussex. This talk will discuss potential solutions, emphasising the need for targeted regulations, technological innovation, and shifts in consumer behaviour to mitigate NEEs while working towards broader environmental goals.
Speaker Bio: Dr Philip D. Howes is an Assistant Professor in Engineering at the University of Sussex, UK. He specialises in particulate materials science and engineering, focusing on functional nanoparticles and particle pollution mitigation. His work advances nanomaterials from fundamental research to real-world applications by combining materials chemistry with automation and AI, particularly in photoluminescent and plasmonic nanomaterials for energy and healthcare. He also investigates ultrafine particulate matter (PM), aiming to better understand its impact on human and environmental health while developing solutions to reduce emissions from processes like combustion and friction. His research addresses critical challenges in sustainability, pollution control, and advanced materials development.

Net Zero Interdisciplinary Seminar Series
The Net Zero Interdisciplinary Seminar Series is the flagship seminar series for King’s College London’s Net Zero Centre, providing a platform for cross-pollination between academia, industry and government to develop novel research projects to achieve Net Zero.
Every month, we host a speaker to discuss a new research idea and seek contributions from audience members on a proposed challenge. A half-hour talk is followed by a discussion, and we encourage speakers to engage with colleagues on research related to our four priority areas, decarbonisation, sustainable manufacturing, equitable resource allocation and resilient infrastructure.
About us
The Net Zero Centre at King's is dedicated to addressing the challenges of decarbonising our society and reducing the environmental impact of our manufacturing, infrastructure, and cities. It serves as hub for scientific, technological and engineering research geared towards this challenge.
Based in the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical and Engineering Sciences (NMES), the Centre works across the boundaries of disciplines at King’s from geography and business to law and social science to deliver solutions for sustainable development. The Centre fosters the next generation of King’s change-makers by educating scientists and engineers on the holistic context of these challenges and developing technologically aware social scientists, lawyers, and policy makers.
