Civil engineering professor awarded visiting professorship in Denmark

Richard L. Corsi, the E.C.H. Bantel Professor for Professional Practice in Civil Engineering, has been awarded the Otto Monsted Visiting Professorship at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The award will allow him to visit the DTU numerous times over a three-year period, as well as the opportunity to work with other international leaders in the field of indoor air quality. While in Denmark, Corsi will lecture on indoor air quality in graduate courses and during a special week-long workshop in the mountains of Bulgaria. He will collaborate with faculty members and graduate students on a project related to near-body chemistry and its relationship to human perceptions and work productivity. Corsi was recently elected to the Academy of Fellows of the International Society of Indoor Air Quality (ISIAQ). He was also recently named the president of Indoor Air, a signature triennial conference of ISIAQ, which will be held in Austin in 2011.
