Dr. Gregor Kos

Biography

Gregor Kos is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Concordia University. He has specialized in atmospheric environmental chemistry, with a strong emphasis on the development of analytical instrumentation for field studies. His research primarily focuses on long-term observations of urban pollutants in Montreal and major Canadian cities. He is adept at statistical analysis of medium-sized datasets and multivariate data analysis, applying these techniques to interpret measurement data and validate atmospheric chemistry models. Kos has significant experience in developing deployable sensors to track urban air pollution, targeting critical air pollutants. His work also includes community engagement projects, such as the Decolonizing Light initiative, which establishes community-science low-cost sensor networks for air quality monitoring. Kos has a robust academic background, having completed his Ph.D. in Chemistry at Vienna University of Technology and his postdoctoral studies at McGill University. Throughout his career, he has contributed extensively to peer-reviewed publications in notable scientific journals and continues to teach various courses in analytical chemistry and data analysis methodologies.
