Dr. Jessica Slater is a researcher in the Pollution Management Research Group at IIASA. Her research focuses on different ways of mitigating air pollution and the multiple co-benefits which could result from such policies including climate change and sustainable development goals. Her research interests include quantifying the health impacts of various scenarios and pathways, including developing and improving methodologies in the GAINS model where there is limited available data, for example in cities in low- or middle-income countries where air pollution can be a major health burden.

Vanisa is currently the Deputy Director of Thailand’s Hub of Talents on Air Pollution and Climate (HTAPC).
