Real-World Vehicle Emissions

 

My interests are broadly in energy and environmental systems, with specific interests in:  modeling and evaluation of advanced energy conversion (e.g.,combustion, gasification) and environmental control systems; measurement and modeling of real-world fuel use and emissions of onroad and nonroad vehicles; development and application of methods for quantification of variability and uncertainty and for sensitivity analysis in systems models; and exposure and risk analysis.  Air pollutant emissions of interest include criteria pollutants, hazardous air pollutants (“air toxics”), particulate matter, and greenhouse gases.  More details are available in the links above.

Latest News:

 

·  Dr. Frey welcomes four new graduate research assistants to conduct research in areas including: measurement of the activity, fuel use, and emissions of conventional and plug-in hybrid vehicles; quantification of human exposure to fine particulate matter and linkages to air quality and human health effects; and linkages between energy use and emissions of pollutants including greenhouse gases, criteria pollutants, and hazardous air pollutants.

·  In August 2008, Dr. Frey was selected to serve on a National Research Council committee that will assess methodology for quantifying uncertainty in the health effects of air pollutants.

·  Dr. Frey has been selected to serve on a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Science Advisory Board (SAB) committee that will assess methodology for eliciting expert judgments regarding uncertainty in environmental assessments.

·  Dr. Frey received an individual NC Mobile Clean Air and Renewable Energy (CARE) Award at the 2nd Annual Mobile Clean Air and Renewable Energy (CARE) Symposium held in Greensboro, NC on May 6, 2008. 

·  Dr. Frey is a recipient of a 2008 NCSU Alumni Association Outstanding Research Award
